[urq] MC-2 vs. WX Flywheel question

[Brandon Rogers]

Todd makes a good point - the WX flywheel is way heavy.

Heya
I missed this original post but I can tell you a couple things from
personal experience.

1-WX & MC Timing Pins are located Differently.  I tried to use my WX
Flywheel when I did my turbo conversion.  The KH and MC use the same
flywheel but the WX is different.  Lets just say my engine had "LOTS of
torque and NO Top-end"

I Believe its about 6-degrees difference.  Which is far less than one
bolt hole rotation.  Besides that, you cant rotate the flywheel anyhow
as the bolt holes are drilled in such a way that the flywheel goes on
only one way.

If your putting in an MC-2, use the MC-2 Flywheel. Its about 10lbs
lighter anyhow and has a stronger clutch.

Hope that helps.  Let me know if you need more info.  Oh, and I may have
a 200 Flywheel if you need one.

Todd
