Ford Cologne flywheel balancing
Discussion
So.....I might have done something daft on my TVR S1!
Started stripping my 2.8 down a while back, getting all excited with the windy gun one evening having been here for 10 hours already or something. Buzzed the flywheel off before realising I'd forgotten to mark it! Bolt PCD looks evenly spaced and to my horror......no key or dowel to locate it as I'm used to with all the French tin I normally own.
Anyone know if the flywheel is balanced to the crank? Or are they both balanced neutrally, independant of each other? (Hoping this is the case - it's been suggested on another forum but I remain unconvinced at this point!)

Have you tried putting the flywheel back on in more than one place?? You will probably find that the flywheel bolt pattern is offset drilled so it only goes on one way?
N.
It's not, it's evenly spaced.N.
Research conducted thus far suggests it's neutrally balanced independently of the crank, which is a happy outcome
