Just wondered what is involed when it comes to lighterning and blanceing your flywheel???

(Spelling )

[fiesta_fras]

u need all the bolts etc associated with it when u hand it in to be balanced

Its not worth lightening it, get a steel flywheel, or just get a light skim on the face-take too much off and it will explode.. To get the full benefits of balancing u need to do the crank and flywheel-even better if you get the rods and pistons done.. Its makes the car run smoother and rev higher without falling to pieces

Snake...........

speaking of balancing....... I had heard (oh no not the, "i have heard" thing again ) that the CVH is a quite well balanced engine due to it being a pig of an engine when it was first developed. A source said, " the cvh was never the best running engine, so Ford had to obviously try and make it run better, that's why having your cvh engine balanced more is not worth the expense".

what do you think ??

Believe me, a full engine balance is defo worth it and makes a hell of a lot of difference!!. They shake like hell when they spin upto 6000 rpm, mine is smooth right upto 7500-8000 rpm!! then there is no more power
