I have just brought a organic clutch kit and plan to buy a lighten fly wheel, due to my engine of being balanced and lightened, so it would be a waste, is this worth buying?

Any lightening and balancing of engine parts will be an improvement. It will certainly rev better. :) On 19th Jan, 2010 wil_h said:

Try the usual sources, MED, Swift Tune, Avonbar, Minispares or a titanium one from Force :) On 19th Jan, 2010 wil_h said:

Remember that this isn't balanced. You still need to balance it WITH your flywheel and clutch assy. Edited by Vegard on 26th Mar, 2009. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

O I wasn't aware of that, you can buy a back plate brand new for pretty much the same price then, thankyou. |

The real question you should be asking is why the picture has been taken with the friction surface facing the bench so you cannot see it. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
Yep I agree with TD........ |

I left my flywheel/clutch in without a crank and they said they are able to do it fine. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

I have no idea on how they'll manage without. I always give them the primary gear and clutchplate as well. That is mandatory I've found. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

I need to clarify what I said, they have a crank that they balance it on so what I mean is they might be able to do it even if you don't provide a crank. I gave them the clutch and all but not primary gear, never thought of that! On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:
