Re: Heed this warning

That is a very sad story.

I can relate to it as I had a flywheel come apart in my 390 Javelin. I had just finished running it hard and had the hood open in a parking lot to try to figure out an idling problem. I rev'ed the motor a few times and with a bam/boom/crash--the motor stopped running. Parts of the flywheel exited the bottom of the bellhousing and embedded into the blacktop. One 2" piece we never recovered. Now I use a scattershield and SFI stuff in all my performance vehicles.
