Flywheel starter ring? - 01/15/11 07:50 PM

Where can I buy just a starter ring for say a small block flywheel? Anyone know what the press fit specs are for these rings?

Try your local NAPA store or maybe your local Dodge dealership

Have you thought about removing the one thats on it and flipping it over?

I don't have one to begin with. I'm doing an experiment.

I forgot to mention that the people I know who have change a ring gear put the flywheel or converter in a freezer overnight and put the ring gear in a oven just before installing it and warm the ring gear up to or over 300 F for twenty minutes or so, then they drop the ring gear on the flywheel or converter I have seen other guys them on also with no other prep than taking them out of the box and beating away Good luck

Yeah, I know its a interference fit, just need to find the specs. Let me tell you what I'm doing, LOL I'm gonna take a 143 tooth Magnum EFI flywheel with the crank sensor notches, knock its starter ring off, have the flywheel OD turned down, and install the 130 tooth LA ring so I can use aftermarket LA SFI approved (though with a hole cut in it for the crank sensor, it may not be legal anymore) bellhousings to swap to a TKO 600 or Tremec 3550 tranny. Wish me luck!
