<VV> Flywheel resurfacing

[Harry Yarnell]

One way to tell if a corvair flywheel has loose rivets, is to drop it on
edge onto a concrete floor (from 1-2'), and if it rings, it's tight; if it
goes 'klunk', its loose.

clarify what I am up to. I just puchased and began driving a cheap beater 62
(Thanks again Tim). This is more than likely a temporary car until I get my
Monza back on the So. Cal freeways with the turbo in my garage.

factor as much as I will be with the turbo. I know the rivets give after
time and do have some minor concerns about that. It really comes down to the
that I am not sure about this car's future. Hillbilly doghouse or will I try
to put it back into near stock shape.So I don't wish to wrap too much into
this one yet.
