When balancing the rotating mass what is the proper sequence? Is the crank first checked, then gears added, then fan, then flywheel, then pressure plate....balancing each item as you go? Or do you start out with the crank, gears, fan, flywheel presure plate as a unit? My real question concerns the external pieces, such as the flywheel, pressure plate, or fan. Suppose you have to replace one of these. Is your balance then lost? Or can these pieces be balanced independently before installation to maintain overall engine balance?
