Lighten a 210mm flywheel ?

[Sandeep]

Hi All,

Did a search and can't find anything....

I am getting ready to install my 914 2.0 this weekend (just the long block). I've checked the endplay and have installed the correct shims and new seal.

I need to get the 210mm bus flywheel and PP I have resurfaced... some pitting and some rust. The fly already has the bearing mod.

Should I/ Can I lighten this flywheel ? what weight would be good ?

Also, do I need that flywheel 'crush' washer (washer with 5 holes on it that fits between the fly and the 5 bolts with serrated surface) ?

The application is stock 914 2.0 into '74 bug with 44 IDF's, Daily driver .... later converted to a 2270cc.

Thanks for any responses.
