Default Re: Balancing an engine at home (Newbie)

Quote:
Balancing an engine and installing a counterbalanced crankshaft are two different things. You should take your new (or old) crankshaft, Flywheel, Cllutch pressure plate, Clutch disc to a professionall balancer. My balancer even wanted the front pulley. Each piece is balanced while rotating, then balanced as a unti. This is to one step most "home shops" do not have the very expensive ewuipment to do.
Plus 1. This is where I went with my Model A engine rebuild. And he did take the front pulley - and cut a surprisingly large number of "drill imprints" out of both sides at one location on the rim to make it balanced.

That was a repop pulley, but one would think the issue would have come up with the manufacturers long before and he would have made more effort.
