ORIGINAL: josecilurzo

my problem is that the shipment cost is very high ( US$450,00 ), necessary to make the maintenance here in the Brazil, in this case, its necessary to have a balancer.
I believe to be necessary to balance the engine always that to disassemble. Its correct?
This balancer is fine to do that?

thank's for your help

Hi Jose,
Yes, the JJ balancer will be fine for what you wish to use it for, and yes, I believe the rotor assembly should be balanced every time it is dis-assembled. Be sure to check it two or three times to get an average and for consistancy, sometimes even large changes in temperature can affect the balance readings depending on the machine used.

I find our balance machine shows minor variations when a heavy truck passes by the workshop...!! Crazy but true!

Cheers,
Smithy.
