Engine vibration V8

Post by McComet1963 »

Opps - I mistakenly posted on the big block page first...

I am pretty sure I have an imbalance issue with my crank and flywheel. Would like your opinion....
Rocks the dash and body around 3000 rpm and up.
Assuming all ok I bought and installed new 50oz flywheel and harmonic balancer.

Built the 347 with Eagle kit with my son in 2005 and drove few years, then kept engine till this year.

Originally the builder used Bob Weights of 1581 grams in 2005, I assume he balanced the original fly wheel to match.
I tossed the original flywheel so reference is gone for flywheel.

Removing the oil pan the same original Eagle crank was balanced at the factory with 1481 grams.
I believe this was a stock balance.

So... the question is will 100grams (3.5274oz) difference between a new stock 50oz flywheel and old engine balanced slightly different?
Difference is 100grams / 3.527oz

I not able to find anything on the web about a slight imbalance, only 0, 28 and 50oz.

Questions, comments and concerns...
