Is the 2F flywheel still on Curlys old engine? I compared the 2F and 3F flywheels when I pulled my old engine out and the 2F is a thicker and heavier flywheel but should still fit.... and probably helps give a bit of torque to keep those 35's turning
I dont think it was still on the old motor. the old motor went to the tip awhile back anyway. But I do remember chucking a flywheel of unknown origin on the scrap metal trailer today. ill bring it over tommorow arvo if i remember.

dont lose any sleep i,d guess turoa,s right about the flywheel everything else can be checked once box is out. who knows the bolts may of just come loose and depending how long you have driven it might just locktite up if not plenty of 2nd hand flywheels about

I had an old 2F flywheel sitting in the shed for 10 years and threw it out a couple of months ago

It all turned out to be a successful mission in the end, replacement flywheel all bead blasted and re-ground, new flywheel bolts to replace those faulty ones that come loose, new pressure plate, clutch plate, release bearing and spiggot bearing.... shit its all looking pretty new in there now
You should get another 300,000km out of that Cruiser now Malcolm
