Default Lightning 2l flywheel when fitting to cvh

Hi guys as above do you lighten the 2l zetec flywheel when fitting to a cvh.

Need to know this as doing mtx conversion.

Cheers

bit of an odd question... are you asking where the material can come off on the zetec flywheel specifically, or how the process works in general?

if you're asking the former, the best way is to take material off so it looks similar to this: http://www.dunnellengines.com/images...20Flywheel.jpg

you can also trim down the rear of the flywheel for a little more weight saving, but don't touch the trigger wheel if you intend to use it. it would also be best to get it balanced afterwards as it will probably be a fair way out after machining.

Hi thanks for your reply. I didn't mean it like that tho. I am just trying to find out if it's a common thing to do when doing the mtx conversion. As the zetec flywheel will be heavier than what the cvh one is.

I don't need to worry about cps as I have trigger wheel on front off engine. ( crank pulley )
