I just received a 13lb flywheel in the mail yesterday from Dominic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
I've read about the advantages of having the engine rotating mass balances, especially in race engines and those that see high rpms a lot. I am putting this med weight flywheel in my stock 1.7 for AX when I do a side-shift conversion in Feb. What's the best plan for installing this flywheel? Some say (i.e. Jake Raby) that if you can't dynamic balance every last bolt then don't bother. I'm thinking I want to send this mildly used flywheel for balancing. Would it be a waste of time and $$$ if the internals of my engine are not part of the balancing (i.e. crank)??? I can remove the clutch and PP (and bolts and gasket(?)) have this entire assembly sent for balancing...that seems like the best plan, but means having the car up on jack stands for the duration of the machine shop work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Any referals to a competent shop in the SF Bay area close to Oakland are greatly appreciated!
