Re: Over revving issue

Brandon, I didn't have a ton of metal friction weld, just a few smaller globs. Most of the the metal was transferred to the flywheel from the crank so I bought another flywheel. I had to clean up the crank by hand just a little, I have seen photos of much worse from others who have had their flywheel come loose on an over-rev. I have put another 17K miles on the engine with no issues.

Also my over rev wasn't too bad I believe it was just under 9,500rpms or right around there. It was just the sudden change in rpm that shook the flywheel loose. I have the 2.4 so I don't rev it too high to begin with.
