Hi Guys
I make a mistake, i did not make a mark on my flywheel before removing, i see that there are two possibility, the flywheel is it balanced only one or with the engine. Is it possible he can cause vibration if it is reverse.
The crank and flywheel are balanced together. If your flywheel is the earlier flywheel with timing marks just put #1 TDC on compression and put the timing marks on the right side of the engine.
If no timing marks then you can only hope you get it right or the balance is not far off. _________________ Wes K

Check the mating surfaces of the crank and flywheel, they may have made a mark on each other that you can match up. _________________ Brett

If I understood correctly, I put number one piston in compression and the mark on the flywheel must be the right side (passenger) and is possible to see by the starter or by inspection window!
I have a little little vibration on the engine but i suspect the engine mount because i changed for the news but is not the original mount and he is very stiff and i think he can make this little vibration. Is possible!!
You can often feel things through the frame and body you didn't feel before when replacing old soft mounts with new relatively hard ones. _________________ Wes K

I would allow the new mounts to age and soften on their own first.
Sometimes there can be slight vibrations and sometimes none at all. Every flywheel/crankshaft mated installation will not behave the same. I have rarely felt any vibration issues on engines assembled with different than original crank to flywheel mating. When I did I either lived with it or reversed the fly wheel or sent the crank and flywheel to the engine machinist to be balanced as an assembly. _________________ Wes K
