Forgive my ignorance, but a DCOE is a diesel cab-over-engine, a 60's =
model International Harvester tractor, no?  I remember a DCOE exploded a =
flywheel on one of our trucks way back when and the flywheel exited the =
roof via the passenger seat.  No passenger was present, but no amount of =
Preparation H would have helped the poor soul had he been there.

What is the preferred material for scattershields?  There's one on my =
GT6.  The flywheel's about at my ankles and I'd like to make sure that =
it's up to the job.  Is there any added danger to running either a =
lightened or alloy flywheel?
