TMH - TurboMotorhead: balancer and filter questions.
- Thread starter OB_Kirk
- Start date
I'm getting ready to do my Muzzy ti exhaust, and while the oil pan is "un-trapped" I'd like to remove my counterbalancer. I understand that the aftermarket crank guys remove the drive gear from the crank. My crank is not coming out. Can I remove the driven gear from the counterbalancer or at least grind the teeth off so that it doesn't spin? Is it ahead of, below, or behind the crank? Which side is access gained from? Where is the oil hole(s) that I need to plug? I am visualizing tapping and plugging a small hole. I am ASE certified and have built engines and raced cars for years. I got the black UNI filter foam #BF-2. Is that the right stuff? What do you oil it with? Do you attach it with RTV? I have some black GMS type RTV. Do you support the foam at all? Thank you very much. I appreciate your help.

We have the carbon oval and after a few thousand miles it really booms.
I can only imagine how that tiny little round can sounds.

Rode out to 24hr Starbucks after closing the one downtown. The other 2 got to observe roll-on part throttle rubber painting in first and second gear in a tunnel getting on the freeway. I just held it at 8000-9000rpm until the rear end came back in line. They said it makes real intimidating noises. I can hardly wait for the packing to go away. The darned thing turns in like a 600. I gotta run it over the scales. My goal is under 500lbs without spending too much money.
