Stock 351W Piston & Rod weight
Does anybody know the approximate weight of Stock 1972 351W Pistons & Rods (individually) ???
This probably seems like a strange question, but I am trying to figure out if my engine vibration is related to the change of weight in the rotating mass. My new Pistons weigh in at 615 grams each. < don't know about +/- grams My new Rods weight in at 570 grams each. < came in set matched within 2 grams. thanks RZ |
Ron,
Whenever you replace rod/crank/piston assemblies with non-OEM, exact replacement parts, or you're rebuilding a grocery getter motor for more strenuous use; always have it balanced. Best if you balance with flywheel and crank damper so it all spins correctly when you button it back up. |
