Starter Ring Gear on Flywheel
I've got a flywheel with some teeth eaten up on the ring gear. It is a lightened flywheel, weighs 8 lbs for an 8.5 inch disk on a Ford 2.3 L motor. The main part of the flywheel (whats that called by the way) is aluminum but the ring gear is steel. I've heard before that you can heat the flywheel up to get the ring gear off but aluminum heats up so much before steel that I'm not sure if that will work. Anybody have any suggestions or should I just get a new flywheel? I'd prefer to keep this one as the lightened ones are $300 on up.
