Re: New flywheel rule
This kinda reminds me of the time Woodro ran into lake in Florida. Surprised they didn't require floatation devise on all.

Re: New flywheel rule
Has happened more times then people know, it just finally got seen on TV this year. and it wasn't a super high HP deal. I get around 3-5 calls a year telling me they found part of thier ring gear missing off a welded on ring gear and most of the time it is a SFI flexplate.
You can get a SFI mopar flexplate for $60, But I agree flexplates without ring gears should be excluded. |

Re: New flywheel rule
I'm checking now to see what is available for my application, that is made in the USA. I refuse to buy Chinese or other imported junk.

Re: New flywheel rule
John, have you tried ATI? I recently got one from them and it seems like a very nice piece.

Re: New flywheel rule
My question is how they are going to enforce this ruling. I would think a GM application would be the easiest to check due to the bottom of the flywheel being in open air. However, some Ford, and I believe all Mopars have a fully enclosed bellhousing. So at the first division races next year are there going to be random checks? Jack it up in the air if you have a GM, and take your starter out if you have a Mopar or Ford to see the sticker? Personally, I'd put more trust in my way out of date Pioneer flexplate that was made in the USA than a new one made from chinesium. I have heard mixed reviews on ATI flexplates with regards to torque converter fitment.
