I bought a Fidanza Alumnium flywheel, my question is, Do you have to put those 2 counter weights that it comes w/ on the flywheel? What are they for, they seem light as hell? How do you put them on?

Thanks [patriot]

I couldn't see them in the pic really well. Are you sure they're not dowel pins for alignment ?

did it come with directions? they are probably weights to make it 28 or 50oz imbalanced

Yes I believe those are the ones. Here another pic. They are the black pieces in the bag. Do those need to go on?

Do they need to go on? What happens if you dont put them on?

it depends what your engine is balanced to. what can happen is, you ruin your bottom end

its 50 oz imbalance

so you need to put the weighs on, or your motor is gonna vibrate like crazy and take itself out

thanks thats what I needed to know [patriot]

It's crazy because those 2 black pieces are light as hell. It doesn't seem like they would make a difference at all [Confused]

it does at the speed they spin. wheels and tires dont spin nearly as fast and those weights are even lighter
