Default welded flywheel to crank?


Yeah, I suppose he could grind it off. I imagine he'll have to put
some washers under the nut because those welded threads are gonna be
toast.

I wouldn't do it but if it needs to come off a little judicial grinding may
work.

So this mate was showing me his bayliner with Force I/O on it. I
pulled the engine cover and noticed that the flywheel had a couple of
beads where the nut would normally be. I pointed it out and he stated
that it had sheared a few keys on him and he figured this would remedy
that. Ummm, is this wrong? Have other people done this? It just
seems like a terrible 'band-aid'.
