Flywheel Failures

[bob58o]

On one of the FB groups I belong to the Billet Flywheel question came up.

It was something like if I use a MOD2 cam, do I need to upgrade the flywheel.

And reply after reply said YES.
And I wondered how many of those people actually had a flywheel blow up.

So I was the A-Hole that said "Prove It, I want to see pictures of the exploded flywheel." I said that I haven't come across anybody who actually had a flywheel fail on them.

I did get one picture of of blown up flywheel.
And a very reputable name said he had a magnet fly off in his shop and that his friend had a flywheel explode.
Another person said they cracked a flywheel and it caused a terrible shake, but he wont have pictures till Tuesday

WRONG!
Texas is at least 100 times better than Chicongo!
Actually Texas is awesome we are loving it here. Nice to live in a small town and be out of the city and the traffic of So Cal.
