Thorwon Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago I've built a 4.6L short rod stroker. I used a 1988 Comanche block, the light crankshaft and rods from a 4.2L. SPEED PRO Hyper H802CP40 pistons. The camshaft is a Crane Cam H-260-2, .456 intake .484 exhaust. And a 7120 head. I put a new Dorman 594-018 Harmonic Balancer on it. It starts and runs great, but at about 2500 RPM there's a vibration and the higher the RPM the worse it gets. Idling it's as smooth as it should be. Everything I can think of is right. Anyone have any ideas what it could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratrapp Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago did you have the rotating assembly balanced?i bought a stroker kit once that said it was balanced and ready to go.it was not and it had to come back out again and taken to a machine shop to be balanced properly.

Thorwon Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago The crankshaft was not spin balanced but all the other components were balanced. I checked every thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle_SX4 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Does the vibration happen when your driving or when parked and just revving the engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghetdjc320 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago How may counterweights on the crank? I’m assuming you’re positive this is an engine vibe and not a tranny, flywheel or drivetrain vibe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorwon Posted 28 minutes ago Author Share Posted 28 minutes ago Yes it makes it when parked and revving the engine. It's the non weighted crank. I've always just called it the light weight crank. I am positive the vibration get bad as the RPM goes up. Question for ya'll. I'm running a AW4 behind the 4.6, can anyone tell me what the pilot hole in the rear of the crankshaft is? I never checked to make sure the torque converter fit the crank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
