The more of your channel I watch, the more I'm starting to think you are seriously one of the best real world mechanics out there, and by real world mechanic I mean working on actual vehicles, not just strictly high performance, infinite budget type stuff

as far as cracks in the flywheel, i think id replace it if it was a high rpm application, but in this situation, get some more life out of it! great videos!

Had the thought a lathe could work to resurface a flywheel, went looking, and found your video. Thanks much. However, I'd really like to see how you mounted the flywheel to the lathe. I don't have a spare crank shaft I can cut off to mount into a chuck. Perhaps a custom face plate drilled and tapped for this purpose. Still a helpful video, again thanks.

Great content Love it
How much can you safely machine off a Cummins 5.9 flywheel

[NewsBroadcasting]

you a very intelligent person from what i can tell. in canada its cheaper for us to buy a new flyhweel from amazon or aliexpress than to get it machined in many cases. also please wear gloves lots of fine metals and asbestos

Thanks for the video. Do you use the same bolts to remount the flywheel and Pressure plate? If you do use the same bolts do you use blue thread locker on these bolts?

[herbiemitchell]

Nice job. How does the cutting tool deal with hard spots? Is it a special cutter?

[kevinbonville]

thanks!! you are awsome great videos! have a jeep Cherokee Cummings swop for ya!! I'd get it there if willing !

If (more like once) your channel gets a lot more popular, you should use the money to put compound turbos on the 4BT Tahoe, idk if that's even possible, but it would be a great how too video, and your Tahoe would be very fast. I would watch it.

Man... why ya dialing in on the worn surface?

[BrownParticles]

Woulda been nice to see how you chucked it up on the lathe. Nice finish though.

[afireinside]

After machining do you need to shim the flywheel? And if so do you then shim the state the Sam amount?

[TopAnimeGuy]

little bit of a late comment but question. I have never seen it done on a flywheel, but why not stop drill the crack? in aviation, some panels and skins are allowed to be stop drilled if the crack is small enough to remove the stress and keep it from growing and larger. could you drill both ends of the crack with a small bot and then machine the flywheel?

im trying to pull the motor out of a first gen cummins. eveerything is disconnected except for one bolt that connects the bell housing to the engine. should i take out the transmission or? how do you unbolt the bellhousing????

You get what you pay for... and a little less.
Bad, bad service. Bad parts too.
I won't go back there.
