First post!

hi ive just taken my engine out of my R5, before i rebuild it im sending my rods and crank to get lightened and balanced and was thinking of doing the same with the flywheel. will i gain anything from doing this, im guessing it should make it rev up faster but with it lose some torque?

any advice would be good thanks ben.
