Is This Flywheel Still Usable?

[meatloaf]

The 3FE project that I was going to start in two weeks, five years ago…. I left the flywheel outside in the elements and it rusted. I wire wheeled it and there is some pitting. What is you all’s expert opinion, have it turned or try to find another one?

Here is a closeup of the teeth…

Take it to a machine shop that machines flywheels and get their feedback. They’ll know if it’s salvageable or not.

@meatloaf,

@aljollano has found a good machine shop for flywheels - A Line Auto up north. Ping him offline- he has the address/contact info.

A machinist would know for sure, but I would have it cut anyway just to see if it can be saved.

I wouldn't use that one but I've got a few extras.
it will need cleaned up where the bolts go to mount it to the flywheel, on both sides

I sent this info to @meatloaf but I also wanted to post it here for anyone interested.
