Shake Shake Shake

Honestly the CF weight imbalance ain't that bad.
I run my Barracuda with 3.55s and a GVod so 65=2240 by the math. So I could be cruising down the road a few miles sometimes, before I even notice it. The only reason I know it's the flyweights is because a clutched-blip or three solves the problem. I mean at 2240 it is extremely subtle. Even when I was running 4.30s one summer, 65=2710 , it was only occasionally more than subtle.
The shake of OP's engine is not solely from the CF-flyweights; it may be a contributor, but at idle it would be extremely small . And anyways, my CF vibration never cycles in and out, it would be there 100% the same intensity, with no oscillation.
I think the flyweight idea is a dead-end..... at idle.
OP
After reviewing my memory banks, I'm concluding that the principle source is the crank. I say this because I remembered a certain 360 that came in one day and I couldn't find the source and it was the worst at idle. But there was no oscillation like yours. Since I didn't know what it was, I told the customer my opinion was a crank imbalance and recommended to the customer to get a second opinion; or a third even. A couple of weeks later the customer showed up with a big grin on his face, and the solution had indeed been to balance the crank.
But I am pretty sure that after the balance job, you may find a different secondary vibration to solve. Have the crank checked for straightness,etc while it's out and before the balance work.
That's my opinion.

However;
It may be as simple as;
the TC is of the wrong balance, or
the front damper is wrong.
Or both.
Before I would take the engine apart, I would look into that.



Come on AJ, you can't possibly believe what you just posted.

How many cranks have you balanced?? I can tell you the Chrysler factory balance job was CRAP, I mean mostly just straight CRAP and I can't think of a single one that shook.

I've fixed many balance jobs by shops that missed something or didn't care.

I also seen guys not know what they are doing, and replace an externally balanced flywheel with an internally balanced part, and then tell me it didn't shake. Not even a little, even though the end was 85-90-100 grams out.

An engine that shakes like that is in trouble. To tell the OP it's ok because Center Force has been selling that junk to guys for forever, and guys tell them it's ok is just dumb.

To spend the time to get a crank balanced and then out JUNK like that on it is dumb.

And just because you can't feel the imbalance doesn't mean it isn't an issue.
