Thread: 4BD1 flywheel housings

Don't know if any of this info is of any use .The flywheel is 85mm thick and the cover almost certain was a SAE 3 which unfortunately went for scrap years ago .The recess for the clutch is 15mm deep and about 285 diam.It was off a boat 4bd1 engine that hydro changed to a 3bd1 The garbage hanging of the FW was for forming SS boat rails

To my initial dismay I find its a truck engine with engine number starting in 106***

However for my MSA conversion the flywheel housing may be of use.

Can anyone recognise this housing and will it fit a MSA-5R?



Does the conversion use the truck flywheel or a Land Rover one. I ask because the truck one looks to be 3" or 4" thick????

Looks like a truck flywheel housing to me. From memory Landrover 85mm thick, Truck 105mm thick.

Every Truck and landrover flywheel I came across were exactly the same and interchangeable (except for the difference between turbo and non-turbo flywheels)

Hi Sheldon

What does seem to be missing is the hole for the clutch slave cylinder, so it may be an industrial or marine engine housing.

Very likely with the thickness of the flywheel.

There is no hole for the clutch slave cylinder. It is external.
