Re: V6 - lightened flywheel?

Although i havn't read the links, heres to disspell the myths....
the Alfa V6 is EXTERNALLY balanced! To those of you out there with multiple spares from various engines, compare the flywheels and front pulleys for there counterbalances! There WILL be subtle differences!

To convert my 24v 164 engine to RWD for my 75, i needed to swap the 164 flywheel for my 75 item....
The 75 'wheel was lightened considerably with total disssregard to its balance factor..
The balance factor for the 164 'wheel was measured then applied (by machining) to the 75 item.
This little lot cost me a cool £395! why bother with the hastle when an alloy version is available for not alot extra? simple, my cars primary use is for the road! Alloy is too light
