hey,
i know its been said that its untrue that light weight flywheels will lower torque figures, though it does require more careful driving due to the loss inertia.
since it IS untrue, why is there so much negativity against crank lightening via knife edging?
there are various benefits to lightening the crank, such as less rotating mass, less oil foaming in the oil pan, less resistance from the journals/counter weights going through the thick engine oil.
assuming the crank can be properly balanced after the knife edging, shouldn't it be great for daily driving?
thanks
chris
