Message: [QUOTE="Morgan@Midwest Diesel & Auto, post: 1288198, member: 8143"] The problem is to make a fluidamper work, you have to spin it over a certain rpm for so long (as per fluidamper) to make the viscous fluid equalize. Otherwise it will be settled and not balance out. We've done this with gas engines. You can balance the crank, let it sit over night the fluid moves and then run the balance again and it will be off. Re-balance, let it sit and it will be off again. There is no way to truly balance a fluidamper. The only way is to balance using stock. Then if you absolutely had to run a fluidamper you would have to switch and hope the balance holds true. I ran a new stock balancer on mine and it ran 6k rpm. And I never once had a issue with oil pump or bearings. To each his own. But seems like you had to add a lot of heavy metal to the crank. But then again we don't use Carrillo rods either. So I don't know their weight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
