I'm in the process of assembling a Pre A+ 1330cc block using a later CAM6232 crankshaft, A+ conrods, new +60 pistons and pre-verto standard flywheel that has been lightened & balanced. It crossed my mind today that as all of these components are from different engines, would it be necessary to have them all balanced together before installing them? Or would I be ok to carry on fitting them as they are?

It's an opportunity not to be missed.

 

Do you know  Tyler Motorsport at Kingstone /Madley ?

Yes i'm thinking while i'm here is it worth doing.

 

No i don't know them. The only place i've been using for machining work is Phoenix Rebore in Hereford but i'm willing to try someone that's more of an A series specialist.

In the past (for K-Series parts) I've used Wilkinson Dynamic Balancing in Halesowen and been very pleased.

Type "Tyler Motorsport" into gurgle, it should bring up a map.

 

If you go there, ask him to show you my downdraft S head and 48 IDA Webber.

Technically no. Should all be balanced in their own already. But ideally yes especially if it needs to rev.

You have a PM.

That's the other thing I'm thinking too, as all the components show their original balancing 'signs'.

I'm only building a torquey road based engine and I don't plan on revving it beyond 6k rpm.

I've just fitted an MED lightweight & balanced flywheel/clutch assembly and it's removed a whole load of vibrations from the way it was previously. Not had anything else balanced but when the engine comes apart I'll be getting it all balanced properly.
