Who can balance a flywheel for me.

Buy a cheap wheel balancer and do it yourself. They work great and are easy to use. If the flywheel is out of balance, the heavy spot will end up on the bottom. Remove a little material from the heavy spot to balance it.

The flywheel does not have bearings in the hub so you could not get an accurate reading with this type of balancer. Carter

The shaft runs on bearings.

The shaft rotates on its own bearings on the stand. It stays tight on the flywheel.

I'm thinking of trying the static test stand idea on a couple flywheels I have. I wouldn't trust it if I was a drag racer but I'm guessing the production ones weren't balanced either. I have had a few old aluminum ones lose bits of magnet or start to lose some material on the ring gear. I suspect they would show they are lightly out of balance and I never had any issues with crank wobble or bearing failure. 10k or more I'm sure is a different story.

Carter,
Just spoke to my local automotive machine shop that balance automative engines.
They said no problem. Would think a local automotive machine shop that balances car engines by you could do it.

Dont just static balance it like others are saying. It’s spinning way more rpm than a tire and needs to be dynamically balanced.

Thanks for all the replies. I will start calling auto machine shops and see what goes. All ideas are really appreciated.

thanks, Carter Powell
