different Fidanza alert

[RapedApe]

CNC machined = balanced, right? WRONG. i just had my entire rotating assembly balanced and the revised (stepped pins) Fidanza flywheel was out 17g to one side. they drilled and tapped the holes for the friction surface off center, causing the problem. so the machining might be fine, but someone can't line up the flywheel in a vise/jig for sh|t.

for other reference..
-ROSS pistons weren't bad. (+.2,+.4,+.8) only one needed work. now they're to (+.2, +.4, +.5)
-ACT pressure plate threw the front out 0.3 and the rear 0.4
-Eagle rods needed minor polishing (threw front and rear out only a few tenths also)

entire rotating assembly is now only .4g out in front and .6g in back. mitsu. specs are within 2.0g. most race motors go under 1.0g

oh, and the piston-to-wall is now clearanced for spray.

Findanza QC sucks. I cant tell you how many people out their have flywheels that regularly spit out their dowels (sometimes through the tranny!) until they released a new version with different dowels.

To me there is no point buying a new one with some of these twin disc clutches that are coming out on the market.

Unless you have a FWD transmission .

You shouldn't be polishing a part that has already been polished, or has a consistant surface finish, then shot peened. By polishing the shot peened surface away you are creating stress risers. Peening is the last operation done for a reason.
