![]() I just got by Scat forged stroker crank back from the machine shop & the sucker looks like a piece of Swiss cheese. The machinist drilled 10 deep holes in the front counter weight & 9 deep holes in the back counter weight - there are a couple of shallow holes in some of the others. I sent him my crank, Pioneer damper (28 oz.) flywheel & pressure plate. He said that he had to take all of that metal out to get it to balance. He also said that it may have been easier to balance if I had a 'neutral balance' damper. He felt that the damper threw everything out of balance & looking at the back of it, it has a big weight on one side of it. I have 3 questions. Does it sound like the machinist did right? Should I have gotten a 'neutral balance damper (I didn't know there was such a thing). Do other Scat owners have balancing issues?
