Or not? Why would you want to increase the flywheel weight on the Savage?

Or not?

Don't mistake flywheel with crankshaft.
The crankshaft on most motors is balanced for the piston and whatnot.
The flywheel just provides momentum for smoothness and compression stroke.

There had been some talk of lightening the rotor awhile back if you know... search for it.

Perhaps it could help engine longevity under certain conditions? Hurt it? Why don't diesels have aluminum racing flywheels?

It's already there. Modifying the flywheel won't change that.
