Hello all you rotormen!
How much weight can I shave off the flywheel ,without impairing the
smoothness of the engine? We are working on a
circulating pump for my PSRU so it can use it's own proper gearlube to
stay healthy! with its own cooler ofcourse.

Well most of us run the stock auto tx flex plate. My guess is five pounds
+/-
two pounds. Don't forget John if you change the stock manual TX flywheel
you will have to supply the proper counterweight.
