Appreciate the concern. That Ring gear has seen 11K many times before this was built.

Question? Could this flywheel be assembled with countersunk allens, or is the plate material too thin? Large diameter head countersunk machine screws are available. Just curious.

No disrespect to engineers, but if we did what they say we would all drive stock 260's, 280's , etc. My father is an engineer and respect his opinion more than anyone I know. But people that push the known existing limits are the ones that move forward and don't reach a point and sit still. Originally Posted by MattGreen

Not like the starter is making the motor turn 10k, once running the ring gear is just along for the ride. If it's true and balanced not an issue anymore than a stock flywheel. Originally Posted by powerabout
