[urq] MC-2 vs. WX Flywheel question

[Ben Swann]

Steve,

I don’t recall exactly, but 62 deg. Is the number that pops into my head.  

I’ll see if I can find it in my notes.

I advise installing the single-mass flywheel setup from the ’91 200 20V  turbo quattro.

Thanks Ado!  I had also heard this, but I've gotta say the mounting holes look to align
perfectly.  Is your post based on actually trying to install the flywheel at the
incorrect rotation?  

The other thing that has me wondering is that I do know that some replacement flywheels
don't come with a TDC mark ... the instructions have you scribe the flywheel when it is
installed.  

I'll try crossposting to the big list too ... yours was the first response.
We will try to install the WX flywheel at the offset ... it will be readily apparent
whether or not it works.  Right now my only candidate for a proper flywheel is a two or
more day trip away ...

Does anyone on the list have the difference in timing angle between the WX and the MC?
I know I've heard it before, but can't find my notes.  It would be good to have
confirmation that the angle difference is the same as 360 divided by the number of
mounting holes.

Visually they might look same, but spacing of the flywheel mounting holes is done in
sequence, so that would fit in only one position, hence the absence of markings or
position pin. Repositioning the pin is the way to go.
