Subject: RE:LT1 Balancing Act by Strick on 2007/12/8 12:49:47 I called Mr. Killibrew and talked with him about the flywheel and balancing the LT1. It was well worth the $45 for the call. I have a 92 Vette and was replacing the flywheel and clutch with OEM new products. He explained how the balancing procedure was done on the LT1. He mailed me a write up procedure on how they do it. It's trial and error, however, they have a few set positions (or patterns) of the weights that usually work if a vibration is present. It's labor intensive to try these placements as you have to insert the weights and run the engine looking for vibrations. If you still have vibrations, you remove the weights and try another pattern. So, if you're putting a dual mass on a previous auto tranny motor, you can achieve balance or at least remove the vibration. |
