A833 + clutch question : 68 318 engine

Marcohotrod said

there is a difference between a pressure plate and a big chevy flexplate and a powerglide car does not have a flywheel. pressure plates-clutch cars-are balanced neutral at the manufacturer. when it is bolted to a flywheel there can be some slight error. so when we balance an assembly we suggest a pressure plate is with it and we spray paint a line on the pieces. most mere mortals do not rebalance when a clutch assembly is replaced-and do not need to. try to buy a replacement pressure plate made in USA

No kidding. The example still stands.you balance the flywheel and pressure plate if it's a stick. The aftermarket calls what I call a flex plate a flywheel. That is why I noted it was a POWERGLIDE. They fact still stands the idiot put a neutral balance (of which there is no reals inch thing) flywheel where he should have had an externally balanced one.

I don't remember off the top of my head, but the back of the crank was about 65 grams out.

It's all the same. You balance the ASSEMBLY. That is anything that goes with it.

Really simple.


EDIT: dude, you should stop posting when you are wrong. Many, MANY manual flywheels are EXTERNAL BALANCE FROM THE FACTORY. Take a 360 dodge for example. Unless you make it INTERNAL BALANCE the flywheel or flex plate will be EXTERNAL BALANCE, just like the damper.

Be care what you post. You can jack some one up bad. You sure as hell can have an external balance flywheel from the factory. Fords do it too.

Geebus.


EDIT 2: exactly how many cranks shafts have you balanced? I don't care where the pressure plate is made, they are not even closed to balanced. If you PAID for a BALANCED ASSEMBLY, they had better damn well do it all. And it needs to be done. Dayam.
