Rover V8 flywheel cracks

Post by ratwing »

Today I removed the old 3.5 & 4 speed p6 box to fit the new 4.6 & LT77. The plan was to use the 3.5 flywheel but on splitting the engine/gearbox I found lots of what looks like shallow wiggly radial cracks on the friction surface.
I've done some searching and this cracking appears to be common but I haven't found any cases of them exploding on road cars so is this a problem?
