The heaviest flywheel you need is the lightest one that will still let the engine idle.

ASNAKE: I always do the bellhousing runout check with the flywheel in place. It gives a great stable surface for the magnetic dial indicator stand to hold onto. You can't have the pressure plate in there though. Check both concentricity of the bellhousing to the crankshaft centerline as well as parallality of mating surfaces (90 deree difference). Offset dowel pins are available to correct centerline problems, parallel corection needs to be done at a machine shop that can Blanchard grind.
