During the powertrain build process, balance weights may be added to the crankshaft
balancer and/or flywheel as required.
In order to maintain engine/clutch assembly balance, it may be necessary to
install or remove balance weights as detailed below:
Crankshaft Balancer
| • | Existing balancer onto existing engine: |
| • | New balancer onto an existing engine: |
Engine Flywheel
Important: The pressure plate mounts or locates onto
the flywheel via two dowel pins in the flywheel. If the pressure plate is not aligned
properly onto the dowel pins and tightened down, the pins may bend and the plate may
be incorrectly positioned which will effect component balance. Refer to
Clutch Assembly Replacement
in Clutch.
| • | Existing flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate onto the existing engine: |
| | Flywheel position must be marked prior to removal and installed to the
original position. Refer to
Engine Flywheel Removal
. |
| • | Existing flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate onto a new engine: |
| | Remove balance weights, if applicable from the flywheel. |
| • | New flywheel, clutch, and/or pressure plate onto an existing engine: |
| | Do not transfer or install balance weights. |
| • | New flywheel, clutch, and/or pressure plate onto a new engine: |
| | Do not install balance weights. |
