SPOON flywheel

[VT1-R]

hi guys i am puting in spoon flywheel tat i jus bought.. my fren told mi it gotta be balance properly into the car... wat are the effects of not doing so?.. all mechanics should do balance it already? thanks..

[krogoth]

eh? can u re-phrase the last Q

effects of not doing so?

lol

ok, get a bar of wood, and stick 1 kg on one side, and 2 kg on the other, then try and spin it, see how that feels

pretty much, thats how ur engine will feel, not to mention ur whole car

id imagine the flywheels come well balanced already, but it wont be perfect

the mechanic will put the flywheel on a machine and find out exactly how much weight has to be removed from a section for it to be perfectly balanced

and y would u not want to get it balanced:confused:

dont be cheap, dont try and skimp out on $20 or so, just go get it done properly

haha.. i want to get it balance.. $20 is nth.. haha.. i jus wanna know if its standard procedures that mechanics will balance the flywheel.. coz i am afraid that they dun do it then the shit happens and no point blaming later.. haha..

if it comes balanced then should be cool then..does it?.. getting more comments.. thanks.

it will come balanced, but not perfectly i imagine

i dont think u can just slap it on, im not an expert....but most of the time the flywheel has to be re-balanced b4 its put on

balanced? wtf?

[aaronng]

I think he confused it with Toda's balanced flywheel and clutch kit.

hmmmm yeh that'd make sense

Areyou talking about refacing or balancing. It sounds like the fly is second hand. So if its the case, get it skimmed so it is flat for your clutch. If new, just put it in.

Having it Balanced is a specialised job that I would dare say all normal mechanics could not facilitate. Plus it costs more than $20.

Hope this makes sense.

i had no idea bout the price, just took a wild guess

so its fair to say that all flywheels are perfectly balanced straight from the box?

[destrukshn]

all brand new flywheels should not have to be worked on before put on the car.
esp lighweight ones.

Makes sense, i didn't think companies would sell "unbalanced flywheels".

That would just be... silly.
