Subject:      Flywheel Lightening
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Dear Listees:
    In a few weeks I will replace the clutch in my '90 Carat, and have
decided to surface the flywheel also.  A freer revving motor would be
nice, so the questions are:
1.  If the flywheel is lightened, will that give improved response to
throttle?
2.  What about the down sides, such as increased vibration, easier to
stall while lugging, etc......
3.  If not this, then how to get an easier revving motor?  Get the Audi
5 cyl?

    Again, thank you for your support.
