Trying to find someone competent to balance an Alfa V6 engine. Needs to be balanced, crank, flywheel, f-pulley, pistons rods etc reving to 8,000 rpm.

Tried a place who do Bentley engines but they soon gave up because of the 60 degree V, and the need to make bob-weights.

Cheshire/ Manchester area would be great!!

Thanks

Once they have weighed all the parts and corrected the weights they can put lead shot into a cannister/s and fit those to the crankpins. This is how you make up different bob weights without machining Sounds to me as if they don't have clamp on cannisters. If you get stuck pm me as I can get it all done. I'm in Notts.

Boosted.

Thank you!

Ive been pointed to Wilkinsons, Halesowen. So if they dont seem confident I'll be straight on the blower.

Thanks again
