Do I need to balance the flywheel before fitting? It's coming off of another engine where it was presumably running ok but just wanted to check if I needed to rebalance it before fitting it to my own engine?________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

Who made the flywheel? If it's a Rich W flywheel then no, it will be fine.________________________________________ 1992 Onyx Black 205 GTI-62005 Honda S2000 (Sold) 2002 Audi S3 (Sold) 2005 Clio 182 Trophy (sold) |

Flywheel, clutch kit and crank should really be bolted together and balanced as a pair. They want marking once done do they go back together in exactly the same orientation they were balanced in. Depending on what rpm you want to use it may be uneccessary.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies. I sell new and used welding equipment in the Hampshire area.

Currently just completely standard so running to redline (7k?). I want to do more engine work in future so I was thinking it would make sense to get it balanced then instead? It came out of a standard Rallye so don't think it should be a problem?________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

It should be fine, the flywheels are balanced at manufacture but in high revving engines balance becomes more of an issue.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.
