Action Clutch OE-HD Flywheel - B16/B17/B18
Doing a clutch job on your Integra, Del Sol VTEC, or EM1 Civic Si and your flywheel's already been resurfaced twice? The Action Clutch OE-HD flywheel is a fresh factory-weight flywheel for B16, B17, and B18 engines. It weighs the same as your stock flywheel and it's got the same dimensions, so your car drives exactly like it did when it was new. You're getting a virgin friction surface for your new clutch instead of gambling on another resurface that might leave taper or hot spots. If your flywheel's worn out or it's been machined too many times and it's getting thin, just replace it. At some point, buying a new flywheel's cheaper than paying a machine shop $80-100 to resurface an old one that's questionable.
Here's Why Resurfacing Old Flywheels Sucks
Every time you resurface your flywheel, the machine shop's taking metal off the friction surface to clean it up. After two or three resurfaces, your flywheel's getting thin and the step height between the friction surface and the pressure plate mounting surface starts changing. That can cause your new clutch to not seat right or it creates chatter because the geometry's off. Bad machine shops also leave taper in the friction surface or they don't get all the hot spots out. Then your new clutch breaks in unevenly and it starts slipping or chattering after a few thousand miles. If your flywheel's been resurfaced multiple times or it's got heat cracks or deep scoring, stop throwing money at it. Just buy a new flywheel and start fresh.
Factory Weight - No Lightweight BS
This isn't a lightweight flywheel. It weighs the same as your stock cast iron flywheel. That means your Integra or Civic launches smooth and easy like it always did. You're not dealing with the harshness and extra noise that lightweight flywheels create. Lightweight flywheels are great for track cars - your engine revs faster and throttle response is sharper. But they're annoying as hell on the street. You need way more clutch slip to launch without stalling and the car rattles and vibrates more at idle. If you're daily driving your B series Honda and you just want it to feel stock, the OE-HD flywheel keeps everything smooth and quiet. If you're building a track car and you want that lightweight flywheel snap, buy a chromoly lightweight flywheel instead.

Note: This is a factory-weight flywheel, not a lightweight flywheel. If you want sharper throttle response and you're building a track car, get a lightweight chromoly flywheel instead. This one's for people who want stock drivability. Use new flywheel bolts when you install this. B series flywheel bolts are cheap and they're torque-to-yield in most applications. Don't reuse old bolts that might be stretched. When you're installing your new clutch on this flywheel, make sure the friction surface is clean. Wipe it down with brake cleaner to remove any shipping oil or fingerprints. If there's oil on the flywheel surface, your clutch won't break in right and it'll slip. Don't try to reuse your old clutch with a new flywheel. If you're buying a new flywheel, buy a new clutch too. The surfaces are machined to mate together when they're both new.
