Blancing

Engines have parts that spin at many rpm. The stress loads, the friction, the heat are all trying to tear the engine apart. The smoother the engine runs, the less these have an affect.

Balancing your engine helps:

  • save on fuel
  • reduces friction
  • increases longevity
  • increase horsepower
  • more consistency
  • smoother operation
  • lower chances of fluid leaks
  • lesser failure

Balancing is the action of matching weights of the reciprocating parts of the engine. These parts include:

  • Pistons/Pins (plus rings)
  • Rod Bearings
  • Connecting Rods
  • Crankshaft
  • Damper (harmonic balancer)
  • Flywheel/Flex plate
  • Pressure Plate
  • Weight of oil
