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 flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate are each individually balanced components and are available separately. The pressure plate mounts, or locates, onto the flywheel via 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
.
| • | 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 from the flywheel, if applicable. |
| • | New flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate onto an existing engine: |
| | Do not transfer or install balance weights. |
| • | New flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate onto a new engine: |
| | Do not install balance weights. |
