I've got a T245 engine I'm putting in my military half ton. The engine was missing its flywheel. I've got two to choose from. One is 35#, has holes for a 10" clutch, and looks in cross section like the one in the manual. The other is 42#, has holes for both 10" & 11" clutches, and has a constant thickness. Is the heavier flywheel from a larger truck or engine? Would I do any damage to the engine with a heavier flywheel?
I'm teaching my niece to drive the truck next year. Maybe the larger flywheel would be less inclined to stalling with a newbie's foot on the clutch.
