John Scott Posted June 14, 2000 Share Posted June 14, 2000 Since my engine was balanced as an assembly, from damper to flexplate, how is my new flywheel going to affect the engine? Am I fretting over nothing? JS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisK Posted June 14, 2000 Share Posted June 14, 2000 My machinist(old school, not much hi perf) said when we balanced the engine to include the flywheel. The hi perf machine guy said no, they don't include the flywheel, so we did not. Mine's an aluminum flywheel so I don't know if that makes a difference. It seems to me that it should not be any thing to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Locutus Posted June 14, 2000 Share Posted June 14, 2000 the flywheel should be balanced already, so adding it to a balanced system should not affect the balance of the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RON JONES Posted June 14, 2000 Share Posted June 14, 2000 Internel or externely?If its externely,look at your flexplate and see if theres any wieght added or removed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Scott Posted June 14, 2000 Author Share Posted June 14, 2000 Internal. Chevy claims the nodular flywheel is good for a billion RPMs when new. Just want to keep things in line. Everthing is hold together well, so far. JS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RON JONES Posted June 14, 2000 Share Posted June 14, 2000 You should be alright John,a zero balanced flywheel should be fine replaceing a zero balanced flexplate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
