312 Y Block cam counter weight is it needed?????
Started the build up on my wife's 312 today and the rebuild manual shows a counter weight to balance out the eccentric for the fuel pump. I went back to the tear down pics and it was not in the pics. I know the motor had had much mischief done to it so did someone else leave the counter weight out? I had a 62 parts motor and opened up the front end and there was not counter weight in that either. Do I need the counter weight?
Thanks in advance for assistance. Z |

Wrong forum unless you have 4 1/4" stroker crank with a hell of an overbore!.

Later Y-blocks did not use the counter weight.

It's still a Ford. Just remember, Knowledge is Power.
