getting ready to install the rebuilt hipo that was rebuilt using the proper hatchet weight timing set along with the oem damper,
can someone in the know tell me what the proper flex plate off balance should be, since i'm using a C4 trans ,
simply wish to be sure knowing the now rarity of real 289 k code motors
What you need to do now is to contact the shop that balanced your engine as the flex plate is part of the balance procedure. The problem with using a known factory offset is that it most likely will not match your assembly. If you did not balence your engine, you should have, especially when using non matching components. If you did have your rotating assembly balanced, the balance shop will know what weight to use on the flex plate. Being as you have not yet installed your engine, it is just a matter of diassembling your engine, including the rods, and getting the balance work done. You can get by with only a few gaskets as the rings and bearings will still be useable. If your engine was previously balanced by a prior owner, you could contact them to get the balance card to give your balance shop.
I always balance my engines, especially with a previously mixed assemblage of parts.
