Not Ranked
If you don't turn the engine over 5,500 rpm and the flywheel is free of even the smallest cracks, as in heat checks, you should be OK. Tapered steel flywheels--thinned at the ring gear--with small-dameter clutches don't need scattershields. Tilton and Quartermaster supply these assemblies.
Caution: This doesn't apply to plain cast-iron flywheels. Nodular ci flywheels are OK if they are in good shape.
