SIX-CYLINDER CAR ENGINE

 

V6 Engines are considered a Group 2 Engine and therefore require the use of bob weights to dynamically balance the crankshaft. All V6 Engines will need to be dealt with in this way.

​

There are some V6 Engines that were externally balanced and require the flywheel and damper to be assembled on the crankshaft while balancing.

​

Below is a list of items we will need to be able to balance your engine components for you.

Crankshaft
Flywheel and Clutch Cover
Front Pulley/Damper
Conrods with Shells
Pistons with Rings, Pins & Circlips

All appropriate hardware - Nuts, Bolts & Washers

​

​

Note: All parts must arrive clean and fit correctly before any work can be carried out.

​

Balancing/Lightening Options (Works Engine Conversion)
Unfortunately as with most Group 2 engines we are unable to lighten the crankshaft, but in most cases, we can lighten the flywheel giving improved performance.

​

Basset Down will also be able to help with all other engine machining work needed including gas flowing and crankshaft regrinding to name a few.
