Re: Vibration in an A
The flywheel / pressure plate / clutch disk assembly that I got from Ron Kelley weighs 20# less than the same original assembly.

With that the machine knows the amount and weighs accordingly for the material to be removed. See the picture as a stock model A flywheel resurfaced and with new ringear and pressure plate installed. The unbalanced weight at 71.76 grams, then corrected balance weight at .3 tenths of gram @ 4000 RPM. Moving the dynamic to a point beyond the range of normal engine operation. http://www.jandm-machine.com/balancing.html |

Re: Vibration in an A
I had my stock flywheel, pressure plate and ring gear balanced and my car now has ZERO vibration at all speeds, it is like a different car and is so much more enjoyable to drive now.

Re: Vibration in an A
However you balance the flywheel, it helps. I have a NOS original flywheel that is out of balance and it has never been surfaced or had a clutch on it. I don't remember how much out it is but, it is out.
I have seen the machine Ford used and it was somewhat like the bubble balancers we used to use for wheels. It worked but not like a computerized dynamic balancer of today.
