Is there any diff types of flywheels for the m20b25? Eg pre and post facelift ect? Apart from the one that has the sensors in the gearbox.

The preface one has a lug on the side and needs to be on early engine with gearbox sensors but will fit on early and late engines. Facelift should only be used on later engines as no sensor lug.

As I said, flywheel must be matched to the starter. If your wheel doesn't have a lug, it'll be a facelift one.
