EDIT: setup a camera when you're doing this just in case. That way your wife knows what happened when she finds your body.

hahaha

you and your schemes to get me hurt or killed. I don't think the wife will appreciate your efforts!

although this is not a bad idea...... But id really need to lock the marker in a jig that held it exactly in the same place.

(01-29-2014, 02:07 PM)willbhere4u 1st check the balance on the original 617 flywheel it may be neutral balance I have read that a 240d 616 flywheel Evan balanced and matched will vibrated on a 617 because it dose not have enough mass for the 617 engine. The 300d manual flywheels are massive and very heavy over 50# loaded I believe. On a diesel the heaver the flywheel the better for vibrations concerns!

I just did a test to see on the original flywheel-

check this out, its got a definite heavy side.

I was told the aluminum flywheel from the kit has a neutral balance, but now thinking on it, im not sure. I can't remember any drill marks indicating its been balanced. Once thats out im going to spin that too and see what it does.

Maybe I have a biased weighted flywheel incorrected installed on a engine that already had a biased weighted flywheel. That could explain a lot

(01-29-2014, 10:46 PM)Austincarnut try and figure the heavy spot and counter with stick on lead wheel weights (if there is space) and then adjust by removing material

good idea, ill start playing with it after I build a jig so I can see the flywheel in action. Im really interested to see what it looks like running

You can hold the marker by hand (actually, chalk or another hard marking device might be better), just bring it in really slow. The whole engine should be rocking. A good set of eyes can see a 0.010-0.020" movement, so you should be able to carefully do this while the whole thing is assembled, through the inspection port. Just don't rest the marker on the engine or bell housing.

larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?
