I have always heard of crank shafts braking when used as direct drives. I know that if you use a redrive there is a weight penalty. But does the safety factor go up as well.
I have found a 1776 cc VW engine real cheap. It is brand new and has been pickled and sitting for about 8 years. The lady wants $250. With that in mind, would the redrive be a good idea. I think I would like to buy the engine if anyone can tell me of a redrive and their performance and safety. Thank you Marty Martin
