Getting the Wheeling Fever
getting ready to rebuild and maybe upgrade a few things.

Has anyone ever had their 22re balanced and was it noticeable?Thanks

Need a Spot
My machinist was going to do it for $200 (that included sufacing the flywheel), but based on what I've read (here and yotatech) since I don't plan to spend a lot of time over 5000rpm, I decided against it. I'm sure it would help, but being an inline block (vs. V) there isn't as much of a need.

unless your doing something crazy, like putting some boost in the motor, and spending excesive amounts of time in high revs there isn't much of a benefit or need from what I remember researching.

That might have been me... I didn't post it again, as it could be due to other factors too.. The balanced motor went into a different vehicle.
