I would look at that as an opportunity to have a more secure stronger flywheel/crank interface! getting a nice one made up has its advantages for sure. esp removable and replaceable friction surfaces if the build is for the long haul. i have no solution when my f2t flywheel goes bye bye.

that would allow me to use 60-2 missing teeth trigger wheel setup by using embedded steel screws in the flywheel (to make the balancing more simple, the two "missing teeth" screws would be of stainless steel.)
thats a smart idea! :-) also, if the crank is made from cromoly you could have the teeth machined in and balance it conventionally.

heres a guy that did a 36-1 on his saab by machine. dont panic, it was done with a radiused cutter and the engine uses an imbalanced fly which is taken care of by this :



cant wait to see the future of this project :-)
