Jesse--

I am about to do a clutch job on my n/a C223 (upgraded to turbo) and have been looking at the flywheels I have in inventory. The n/a flywheel has a flange around the faceplate whereas the turbo flywheel has no such flange. Perhaps this will make the turbo unit lighter than the n/a unit. Otherwise they appear to be interchangeable.

I would like to know more about this myself as I am thinking of using the turbo flywheel to improve the acceleration of my engine. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Another question re swapping flywheels; are the flywheels and crankshafts balanced separately or are they balanced together as one unit?

Also, if it is possible to change the rear main seal with only the flywheel off, can you please elaborate on how this is done.

Thanks--

Paul

PS-- Jerry Lemond are you out there?
