Completing my engine rebuild - this is a street performance motor,
9.5:1, ports opened and polished, all balanced etc. I am trying to
decide on the flywheel and clutch combination. My current B&B is a
bear of a clutch, fierce on take up and very difficult to operate
smoothly in low gears. I hear the Sachs plate is smoother and
softer. I am also looking at an alloy flywheel, perhaps Ted
Schumakers.
What impact does so light a flywheel have on street usability? Would
I be better lightening the stock one? I am looking for a combination
of power and smooth operation since I plan to drive this car pretty
much exclusively on the street. Will the Sach's pressure plate match
up OK and be suitable in this combination?
Any suggestions or alternatives appreciated
