I recently rebuilt the engine and during the disassembly phase, the fly wheel was difficult to remove. After several days of applied pressure, heat and lubricant, the flywheel still would not budge. I took it to the machine shop and the machinist utilized a custom made fixture and was able to remove the flywheel. Now the engine is completed, I was able to crank it and begin the break in process. I noticed a wobble in the fly wheel at idle. The engine idles and runs great with no miss fire or noticeable vibrations. I was able to put a dial indicator on the tapered end of the crankshaft and it runs true when inspecting the crankshaft. I believe it is the flange ring that is slightly bent. The starter engages fine and the crank sensor seems to be picking up the reluctor ring with no misfires. Just wonder if this is something to be concerned about or should I replace the flywheel. I don’t remember what it was like before. Hoping maybe Don could weigh in and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
