I recently went through a big upgrade for my drivetrain including a new 347 crate engine and a T5z trans. The engine is from CHP and was balanced for 28oz, so I ordered a 28oz harmonic dampener and 157 tooth 28oz flywheel. Everything went togerther perfectly, but I get a bad vibration when the engine is running parked, it gets really bad when driving down the road. I pulled the trans and FW today and was hoping to find the FW mistakenly to be a 50 oz, but I'm pretty sure it is a 28oz unit, see pic below:
The part number stamped on the flywheel is FW-1600. I did a search and this appears to be a 28oz unit. So, my problems could be:
1)the engine was not balanced for 28oz like the paperwork says, but maybe 50oz or zero? Anyway to check this without tearing apart?
2)the new harmonic dampener is out of spec
3)the FW I have is out of spec and not accurate
One last thought I had was when I installed the Ford Racing King Cobra clutch and pressure plate, I did not use the locating pins (they weren't inlcuded) to align the pressure plate. Again, everything installed fine and I didn't struggle with alignment of the pressure plate bolts. Could this be the source of my problem? What else should I consider? I hate doing work twice, but man I want this fixed! Thanks guys.
