The flywheel stores rotational energy to smooth engine operation, aids in power transfer to the transmission, and facilitates engine starting via the starter ring gear. Regular maintenance includes inspecting for cracks, wear on the gear teeth, and ensuring proper bolt torque. Monitor for vibrations or unusual noises which indicate imbalance or misalignment. Resurfacing may be required if the clutch contact surface becomes scored. Proper lubrication of related components and timely replacement of damaged parts prevent drivetrain vibration, clutch slippage, and starting issues, ensuring stable engine performance and extended service life.
