Subject: Re: School me on balancing by vetteoz on 2009/5/4 14:10:09 All SBC are neutral balance at front EXCEPT 400ci 2 pce seal engines are internal balance at rear EXCEPT 400ci 1 pce seal engines (late L98 /LTX ) are external balance at rear; they have a counterweight on the flexplate.This was required because the round crank flange on the 1 pce seal crank didn't allow for the conterweight to be placed there When you rebuild you get the rotating assembly with flexplate and balancer balanced as a complete assembly , preferibly to stock balance configuration.That way you can buy a off the shelf flywheel / flexplate anytime in the future. Forged is nice but the better quality cast steel cranks (SCAT / EAGLE) are supposed to be good for 450Hp. |
