At what level of wear should the flywheel be replaced?
1 Answers
This still depends on whether the clutch's working condition is normal. If there are no abnormalities, there is no need to replace it separately, and it can continue to be used. Below is relevant information about the automotive flywheel: 1. Definition: A disk-shaped component with a large moment of inertia, functioning like an energy storage device. For a four-stroke engine, power is generated once every four piston strokes, meaning only the power stroke produces work, while the exhaust, intake, and compression strokes consume work. 2. Function: The flywheel has a significant moment of inertia. Since the power strokes of each cylinder are not continuous, the engine speed also varies. When the engine speed increases, the kinetic energy of the flywheel increases, storing energy; when the engine speed decreases, the flywheel's kinetic energy decreases, releasing energy. The flywheel helps reduce speed fluctuations during engine operation.
