Hi Forum,

I am just about to fit my flywheel however i was wandering what people do to ensure that their flywheel doesnt move when running.

Please could i have some info on how you do it and some photos would be much welcomed

Many thanks

The flywheel is held in by the key. It wants to be made to be a nice fit by blueing it really. This means you wont have to hit it in very hard so then if you ever need to take it out/flywheel off, it should be much easier.

A lot of engines also have a crossed drilling at the back of the head with a pin through. This ensures the key cant work itself out on its own or if it does, everything is held in place.
