A833 + clutch question : 68 318 engine

If you paid to have your rotating assembly balanced and they did NOT balance your pressure plate you got screwed, blu d and tattooed. If it rotates, in most cases it must be balanced. On race deals I even balance the disc. For a street car I skip the disc to save some bucks unless the customer is willing to pay.

But you had better balance the pressure plate. The good ones are 40-45 grams out and they get worse from there. With the exception being some of the billet CNC covers and pressure plates. They are close, but still must be checked.

Are you suggesting the rotating assembly be balanced every time a p/plate is changed??

If they are out over 40 grams, and you replace that p/plate with one 40 gr - 180* opposite, you'd then have it 90+ gr out of balance , would it not?, rather than a random small imbalance?

inquiring minds want to know.. lol

cheers.
