Cregg---When I took the flywheel from my engine to a balancing shop they
said that only four pounds could safely be cut from the flywheel. This
was from the outer diameter where, of course, it does the most good. I
don't know what the flywheel and ring gear combo weighs, but I know it
feels like more than 18 lb. when wrestling this into position while
lying on my back! 

What are your goals for this engine?
