Concerning flexplates, some problems may puzzle you. For example, do you need the exact Flywheel or Flexplate and damper to have coast high performance balance your engine kit or build? As far as this problem is concerned, the following is some advice.

While it is necessary to have a flywheel/flexplate and damper in order to properly balance an engine kit, it is not necessary to have your exact ones. If you are not purchasing your flywheel/flexplate and damper at the time you purchase your engine kit, you can use house dampers, flywheels and flexplates with various weights according to your balancing choice when you balance your kits.

If a customer would like to use their exact damper/flywheel/flexplate, they can send these items to the manufacturers for the balancing job, but again it is not necessary as long as they know what balance weight they intend on going with. In this case, let manufacturers know when placing the order over the phone, or make a comment when ordering online, and they can be sure to follow customers’request.

If you plan to go out and purchase a balancer and flywheel the movie of your choice, it is recommended going with a 28oz damper and flywheel as it takes less material out of the crank when balancing. If you have a stock 50oz or internal balancer/flywheel, you can use those as well as long as you know so you can balance the kit accordingly.

When you balance any engine kit/rotating assembly, all items are weight matched and balanced together. The crank is the primary component with most work done to it, but weights are taken on all of the other items, rods, pistons, bearings and ring gears in addition to the crank. The pistons and rods are weighted within X grams of each other to ensure that the balance is correct.
