I thought I'd swap the gearbox on the British Open this evening (I must find something better to do with my Friday nights) engine came out nice and easily but I couldn't get the blooming flywheel off to save my life, when it eventually cam off this is what I found:

Flywheel 180 degrees out when pulling ??? ie, C washer was "upside down" ??? never understood the 180 degs our C clip , what difference does it make, none as far as i am concerned. i certainly dont put the clip in with no 1 at tdc, , it goes in whichever way it goes at the time, ive seen slightly worc C clips but nothing like that, its a thrusting side thing for sure, was it excessively high miles. edit, has the f/wheel fretted at all, carl Edited by fastcarl on 11th Apr, 2008. |

If your pulling the whole lot together (which is how the manual says to do it) with the thrust bearing plate removed and the puller bolts fitted through the 3 holes in the diaphragm plate (diaphragm spring on a verto) provided for just that purpose, then, if upside down, it will drop into the gap between the flywheel and driven plate as everything moves forward and will be bent as pulling continues. For that reason, I always dismantle the clutch first in case someone before me has put it in the wrong way up. However, even then, on the later flywheels, there is an additional groove machined into their boss just behind where the C clip sits which it can drop into and get caught anyway. So having it the right way up is good practice. Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ??? |

Yes I'm with that carl as your pulling aways from the clip and it's free to move over it as it likes, it's only whn putting f wheel on does it help to st up at the right 180 degrees so you don't bend it then, if it moves. Best 1/4 mile 13.2 seconds @116 mph

Pre-verto if you pull the flywheel and clutch together (as per the manual). Same happens on a Verto Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ??? |

Nice work retired, that's clear to see. So a standard flywheel can bend it then, An after market one that most people seem to use doesn't have this groove, so would be ok. Best 1/4 mile 13.2 seconds @116 mph
