cool Re: Flywheel question

Both the 1987 and the 1991 engines use the same 3Y crankshaft, and both engines are externally balanced. Therefore, you can bolt the '87 flywheel to the '91 crankshaft. However, here's something that you need to investigate: The 1991 engine accepted a ZF 5-speed while the 1987 engine accepted a T-18 or T-19 4-speed, and I don't know whether those two different brand transmissions used the same pilot bushing or not. I advise you to inspect the ends of both crankshafts to see if they both use the same ID bushing, etc. If possible, inspect the pilot end of both transmission input shafts. I'll bet that the changeover is possible, but check first if possible.
