Message	Flywheels also don't have anything to do with the balancing of the rotating assembly. Otherwise they would be keyed to fit on the crank only one way. They are strictly for angular momentum...which makes it easier for the non-driver to launch his/her car
Follow Ups	I Have Heard Some Bad Rumors about Lightened crank pulleys.. - 5liter-eater 11:16:38 02/25/03 Absolutely, 100% YES, they are the worst thing EVER!!!

Exactly (n/m) - Bobby12many 12:32:43 02/25/03 Check your U-joints, my Jeep does that when they R going out - my91z 12:50:57 02/25/03 that is possible. - Marshall 13:29:39 02/25/03 dont be surprised if as you're checking it, - ZEngineer 14:10:01 02/25/03 You're probably right. - Marshall 14:26:07 02/25/03 You forgot the key words, was it a tested on a VG or - Spongerider (Now PFC) 12:17:38 02/25/03 Shorter crank only means the resonant frequency is higher - AshsZ (FABio) 12:33:21 02/25/03 Nope... - Spongerider (Now PFC) 12:48:15 02/25/03 Ok. (n/m) - AshsZ (FABio) 12:50:43 02/25/03 that's overly simplied - Marshall 13:10:15 02/25/03 It is possible to move the resonant frequency out of range? - Marshall 12:55:07 02/25/03 In a good design, yes but > - kuah@splparts.com 13:05:30 02/25/03 Nope.

I don't see your point?
