Here s how it got that name. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euGuucHprZM In this installment of the Engine Build Series of the #FairmontProject, Kevin Frische shows us how to balance a rotating assembly. Some may know this as balancing the crankshaft however, this is something of a misnomer in this case because we also include the flywheel and harmonic balancer. Honestly this is one of my favorite videos in this series as it covers something I ve never seen done before. So the next time you re getting an engine build, I d highly recommend getting your rotating assembly balanced. Especially if you re going to be using an aftermarket crankshaft. If not, it could mean a short life for your new engine. If you do opt for this service, you ll have a smooth, fast revving engine.
