Flywheel Balance and lighten

[Noodles]

Were can i get this done round my way? (Dartford)

[w p e]

you need the crank /clutch/front pulley all together to balance a flywheel

or you can buy a CNC machined f/wheel from burtons

[Mr Sam]

dont lighten it too much or your revs die too much when you pull away

[Fiesta Steve]

Just use more revs

what happens if you just get the flywheel machined so its lighter then just fit it

 

 

i bought a lighened flywheel off ebay and fitted it to a pinto i didnt get anything balanced and it went ok

 

 

just thinking of doing the same again to the pinto i have now

Have you ever had a road wheel out of balance ? Same thing

It can all get a bit...

I machined about a 1/2 of the weight off my pinto flywheel but as there were no balance drillings on the counter weight on the back and no cold spots in the casting and was clocked up to 5-10 microns run out never felt the need to get it balanced again and seems ok till now.....fingers crossed

sory i meant do you have to get it balanced to the crank

 

or is it ok just to fit a lightend and balanced flywheel to your car with the crank as it is

[RS2kSX]

gave it a good ragging (sorry gentle drive ) down A1(M) after a while it started to make a funny (laughfter) noise...

 

stopped at services to see, nothing wrong unttill i started it up. it just fell off.....

 

 

bumped it to get going and drove it home, no noise or knocking parked up and that's what i found.

 

it's now tack welded on, F**ck the balance it works.
