Re: [MBZ] This is interesting

I would think so. Balancing is just making sure the moving parts are equal in weight. I can't see that being at all difficult in this environment. Dan who once balanced and blueprinted a 1600cc Beetle engine. On Dec 29, 2013, at 7:46 PM, OK Don wrote: > I wonder if the manufacturing process

Re: [MBZ] This is interesting

: Re: [MBZ] This is interesting I was impressed by the apparent lack of fitting or selecting parts. Everything just seemed to fit. Maybe the precision and repeatability is actually that good (my engine rebuilding days were in the 69s and 70s). I was also "impressed" by the lack of any

Re: [MBZ] This is interesting

I doubt a MB of the 00s until now needs to be balanced. Probably from the 90s on. I wonder if the manufacturing process is good enough to produce a balanced engine without cherry picking and matching parts? I was told (don't know if it's true) that MB engines, at least back in the 61x days wer

Re: [MBZ] This is interesting

I wonder if the manufacturing process is good enough to produce a balanced engine without cherry picking and matching parts? I was told (don't know if it's true) that MB engines, at least back in the 61x days were dynamically balanced at the factory. I didn't see any evidence of that in the video,
