 engine dating.....
Hi Folks, is there a quick and easy way to date an engine? I have a spare engine in the shed and would like to know if I have a "llight" or "heavy" flywheel......I'm hoping its the latter, slow and steady would suit my driving style better  I also need a cylinder head (drivers side) with decent exhaust studs...... Cheers gerry

I'm hoping that's an "auto correct" sentence.

Still makes no sense, that's a clutch, not a badger.
