ok, I just took in my crank, crank pully, flywheel, pistons & rods and boults in to get balanced but not the pressure plate, should I get it done with the pp on or not.

 

When I take mine into the machine shop Im taking eveything. pp and pp bolts, flywheel and fw bolts, Crank and bearings, rods and bearings, Pistons and rings, and cranke pulley and bolt. Anything that turns with the crank I would take. Just my .02

 

why balance or better yet rebalance-honda cranks are allready balanced from the factory pretty good -better than just about any other company and so are your aftermarket parts so why rebalance? your not building a r6 motor that spins to 14K are you?

 

building a motor with 3x the stroke, you need that extra balance.

 

i understand that...i was just talking about honda four cylinders

 

Well its only $125.00 to have it balanced at the machine shop, so why not.

 

depends on build 125 got me my pistons and rod bolts for my current d16 build-so the choice was obvious-my point is for most honda guys you can spend the money else where

 

to balance the crank they need

Crank, flywheel, bolts.

they just weigh out the pistons/rods/bearings/pins/retainers/rings and match the weights on each set.

My machine shop told me that the crank I brought him was the best balanced crank he had ever seen. He said dont worry about the flywheel but I would bring it anyway. Especially if its an aftermarket unit.

 

Well, got everything back and I am very happy, the crank had to have a couple of bugers tapped out and the flywheel also but all the rest
is good. Just waiting for the bearings to show up so we can get started on the build

civiceggturbo--10k rpm

 

i would only balance the clutch/flywheel.

guess why ?
