I need to replace the flywheel on my PCM 5.7 due to chewed up teeth. I only want to do this once so i want to use a good quality part. The one that came out is probably OEM since GM is cast into it. Its the standard 14" weighted flywheel.
Any recommendations or brands to avoid?
 
Ayuh,.... Just replace the ring gear, insteasa the whole flywheel, the 168 tooth oughta be $30 bucks or so,....
 
I bought a ring gear from Lighthouse Marine. I gotta say I'm not impressed with the quality. The I.D. on my original has a nice straight bore as if it were machined. The I.D. of the Replacement is bellmouthed. I sweated it on the flywheel snd it seems tight but the press fit surface bears only on tge center of the profile of the ring. I hop it holds. I durn sure don't want to have to do this job sgain.
