Nice job echo-francis!

Xntrx, by MOI are you refering to rotational mass in some way. A 3 lb reduction in rotational mass being equivalent to maybe 6 or even 12 lbs dead weight? And by dampened you mean no harmonic balancer? Or something else. Sorry for basic questions, but if I am asking then there must be other readers who don't quite recognize the terms, ether, right? I am actively considering this mod when I do scheduled timing belt work sometime in the near future, maybe March. I don't have AC or PS anymore and since the crank pulley has to come off for the timing belt replacement... maybe its a good time to mod it. Thanks man.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
