I read  somewhere that you should drop the flywheel from about an inch or so 
and it  should "ring" not "clunk".  I have what I believe is the "bolted"  
flywheel.. and it did not ring.  What should I do now?  I can post a  picture of 
the flywheel if there is any uncertainty as to what type it  is.  I'm no 
mechanic so keep it simple!

The engine is question is  from a 65' Corsa with a 66' four speed.

Thanks!

Hi Ray,
Don't drop the flywheel, but place it on the bench, standing up and gently  
strike it with a hammer. If good, it won't ring, but will sound similar. If bad 
 it will thunk, clunk or rattle.
If rivited, junk it or bolt it. 
Regards,
Bob Helt
