Reply to "Stroker engine vibration"

The picture of the motor with the pan removed sure makes it look as though all the balancing was done by removing material from the counter weights. Thinking out loud here, I wonder if the vibration problem may be resolved by installing the same make & model flywheel the motor was built with (RPM billet steel external balance flywheel #FPH-30228 RPM).

I've got a story for you guys; the Pantera belonging to an original gangster member of this forum, Tom Edds, received a tune-up one afternoon by Tom's son, who inadvertently crossed two of the spark plug wires. After the tune-up Tom took his Pantera out for a test drive, and found the motor running a little "rough" so Tom figured he needed to "blow-it-out" a little. That's just what Tom did, he put the pedal to the metal and literally blew the crankshaft into the oil pan. Devastating results from just crossing two spark plug wires.
