Flywheel Fitment
I am just wondering, are rotary flywheels interchangeable?
|
yes and no.. it depends on the internals (year and weight of the rotors). the flywheel is very specific to the internals to keep the engine's balance. the 79-82 flywheels are identical and weighted accordingly for that year and the 84-85 are weighted accordingly. using an 81 flywheel on an 85 engien will destroy the rotor bearings not to mention the stationary gear bearings and vice versa.

Well I have a 12A Turbo, what kind of flywheel should I put on the thing... It has a flexplate on it currently.

12a Turbo SHOULD be like an 83-85 US engine. |

buy an after market light flywheel!
12a Turbo SHOULD be like an 83-85 US engine. Since it has a flexplate, i am assuming it has a counterweight bolted to it? If so, buy an aftermarket flywheel for pre 85 rotary, and bolt it up! |
get the flywheel for ur yr model engine.

I would believe the 12A turbo had an '83-'85 assembly, as j9fd3s says, but the only difference is the compression depressions in the rotor faces being a little deeper to reduce compression a bit. The '83-'85 assembly is a little lighter than the '82 and older assemblies.

I forgot to mention I have a TII tranny I am going to be hooking this up to.
I was reading up and people are saying to use the automatic rear counter weight with a TII flywheel, Turbo clutch, and turbo starter. This is all correct? |

This is all correct? if you have a 12A turbo engine, there is no stock flywheel that works with those rotors and a turbo transmission. you need an aftermarket flywheel |
