Re: camshaft question

Re: Engine balancing question
Update...I took the motor to another engine builder.One that everybody I talked to says he does a very good job.The block was bored right,the motor was balanced right,but the rods needed to be honed bigger cause they were too small!! Also the crank was good and it did not need to be turned.

Re: Engine balancing question
Wow thanks for the replies. I talked to another engine builder and he said that if they added weight then it is not balanced!! This guy has built engines for alot of years. So I am glad that it is not put together and in the van. I am just frustrated a little right now.

Engine balancing question
I had my engine balanced and I was told that the crank had to have a little weight added to it to get it balanced.The crank did not need to be turned.I'm just wondering if all motors that are balanced need weight added. This motor is out of a 1991 caprice.Thanks

Rear door check clip?
On the passenger rear door there is this lever that keeps the door from opening too far. Well the clip that holds the lever to the bracket broke off and that lever does not stay on.Has anybody had problems with and if so what did you do to fix it? Thanks!!
