Rotating assembly balance

Crowerstroke02 · Apr 1, 2014

Just depends on how well balanced the rest is.

I guess if you don't give a damn about how your stuff works then you can throw them in.... my set of crowers were out 2 grams... and the brand new pistons.... I seem to remember them being out by about 12-15 grams.... it was a set of 8 that one got dropped at the coating place and then I had to buy and individual.

I would never build a motor without a through balance job, complete with damper and flexplate/flywheel. It makes a world of difference.

I know we're a little far away, but we can set you up with a balance job within a tenth of a gram. We can also set it up to do an internal balance with an ATI damper and a neutral balanced flexplate... The only way to go IMHO

PM me if interested.

The rods may be balanced from crower but the rotating assembly is not balanced for the crowers. They may only be 2 grams difference but at high rpm's that's a huge difference could wind up being a pound difference

2 grams between em is not the thing. Its the diff compared to stock. My carrilos were over 200grams lighter than a stock rod. There is a percentage most people allow when swapping parts. When i took out .030 stock fly cut pistons and put in decompressed deeper flycut .040 je pistons i didn have to change my balance cause it was less than 10 grams diff and the pecentage said not to bother if uder 14grams diff. I think its a 10% factor if i remember right thats allowable. And my engine is smooth as glass even with solid motor mounts. No one really knows where oil is flying when running any way.

No one sensed the humor I guess.

I figured but you never know

Hard to see emotions from just plain words.

You might want to contact powerhungryperformance. They're an hour or so east of Atlanta, but they could probably point you in the right direction.

I can't believe you can't find a good machine shop in the Tampa area, though. That's odd.

Well if he's like me I'd like references for dropping that amount of coin. OP call up dieselsite and see if they can point you in the right direction as well. They are in Homosassa FL.

I take it that you don't know who Bill is. If he refers you to someone regarding a diesel, that's about all the reference you need. I specified him because he's in the general area of the OP.

Dieselsite would be another good option. I've ordered lots of stuff from them, but I guess I never realized they were in Fl.

Hey, I'm not trying to get in a pissing contest with you. The OP mentioned southern GA. That's why I mentioned Bill. If Dieselsite can get him going, I'm all for it. Have a good one.
