Thinking About Buying A Flywheel For A F134.

I have a 9-1/4 clutch disk and pressure plate but I do not have a fly wheel that is drilled for it. I am thinking about this one but the oblong holes are what is got me thinking it's not good idea. I'm sure the holes could be repaired. But it might be cheaper to find another flywheel.

Check with a machine shop in your area to see if they could drill your original flywheel for the larger clutch.

 

I think I would pass on that one and keep looking, for one that doesn't need any work. There are a lot of used 134 parts out there, place a WTB add in classified.

 

How soon do you need it? I might going through your area in a couple months.

 

I put an ad out on the forums looking for one of the dual drilled versions like you need and it took about half a day to find one for $50.00 in great shape (still had it surface ground like you should anyway) even with shipping from MA to OR it was cheaper then the asking price on that eBay one.

 

I'm not in a hurry for it right now.

 

Here is the spare flywheel I have at some point someone drilled another set of holes for a 8-1/2 pressure plate. I don't know if this flywheel can be used with the extra holes drilled in it. I also marked where the holes might be when the pressure plate is installed.

 

as long as the person drilling the holes had it balanced, it should be fine. you should take it in and have it balanced yourself. i wouldn't trust what somebody said.

 

Yeah mine are tapered so they have never been replaced. I guess you would have to pull the crank to install the straight dowel pins?

 

^This! I had to remove the rear bearing cap on mine after forgetting to install the pins during my rebuild.

 

I bought a Military Surplus NOS motor from a friend, it said 1952 on the box, inside the box was the pins Howard is talking about. I pulled off the rear main cap to look at the rear seal, the seal had etched the crank in the seal area, looked like electrolysis, tiny pits in where the seal sat for all those years. I took the crank out and sent it out to be ground and polished in the seal area. While it was out I reamed the pin holes, everything worked out fine. Good Luck
