Flywheel Placement

I would look for any clean spots with dirt ridged edges, sort of like when you lose a wheel weight on your rim.

...Offset Weight?? If You are talking about the 'Indexing' of the Flywheel to the Crankshaft; The Six holes are drilled in a Pattern that Only Allows it to be Mounted in One Position!...

Take the old and new flywheel to a reputable engine builder and get him to balance the new one to the old one.

Thanks for the input everyone. My mechanic said all the same things. He knows what he is doing, but I wanted to know how it works as well.

Final update:

The master cylinder, aluminum flywheel, clutch, throwout bearing, and hub(?) where installed and it resulted in three things:

1. The aluminum flywheel didn't change the behaviour of the car much.

2. It takes more pressure to press the clutch now.

3. The vibration in the motor is gone now. Which means it obviously wasn't the motor, but rather the old clutch or flywheel. Nice!

I loved this car from the moment I saw it, and every time I fix or update it I love it more.
