Seriously. I balance the way you do, but then I follow up by fitting the clutch plate. I guess you could make a spacer/washer the thickness of the clutch plate to get the backplate at the correct position compared to the crank mains.

Come on V, the whole assembly includes the clutch plate.

Thanks for your input Simon. As far as I am concerned your method is "THE" way to do it. Who else on here can argue with someone who does it for a living.

After all this does seem to be the mini way now a days to pay for extra unneeded work. Simon do you charge hourly or in other words, would you charge the extra for balancing individual components, over balancing a pre assembled clutch & flywheel. Bearing in mind the extra time this involves ?

Smiffy,

Sometimes you just don't know when to let sleeping dogs lie do you!

[Smiffy]

Honest question mark, as I've a flywheel assembly to get balanced.

But Simon cannot do this for you, as he does this incorrectly

We charge a set price for the job , some you win , some you loose on time but they are all done correctly .

Worst one I ever had was a ford side valve that someone had " bladed " with an angle grinder , took hours to get right

Its the same with the rods , you might be lucky and do a set in 30 minutes or they might be miles out and take age,s.

[Smiffy]

So what do you charge simon and where abouts are you ?

There is only One advantage, to balancing the flywheel/clutch assembly individually. That I can think of and must say I'm surprised one ones mentioned it yet.
