I use to be a cnc machinist, and the Co I work for has quite a large machine shop most of it has been decommissioned though these days.
When I was 17 as an apprentice, one of the many machines I operated was a horizontal borer machining large forgings and we use to do up to a 60T forging (prop shaft for the frigates) and the chuck on that machine was bigger than me (I'm 2 meters in height)
Sounds crazy but to bore a 300mm hole in the prop shaft use to take me a week in one cut, the shafts were something like 12+ metres long!

Ah looks like you'll be well equipped to tackle the job then!
If you want, I can send you my old flywheel so you can experiment with machining it. The dual mass mechanism feels ok so could be reused just fine, but I think you'd be better off machining your lower km flywheel and just using mine as a guinea pig.
