1600 XFLOW Lightened Flywheel and Crankshaft Assembly Balance | A visit to the 2024 AUTOSPORT SHOW

#engine #engineering
In this video I lightened a subscribers flywheel by 2 kilos and balanced the crankshaft assembly. I was surprised to see how far out the flywheel was once it was on the lathe.
Sam and I had a rare day off and went the 2024 AUTOSPORT show at the NEC in Birmingham. I was happy to see ‪@MatArmstrongbmx‬ stand with his stunning Lamborghini, but gutted that I didn’t meet him. Check out his channel, its awesome.

I thought we had lost you, those modern balance machines are fantastic. I thought you were never going to true up that centre boss .
Kit from down

[@graceenginedevelopments]

I’m still here kit, yes I was always going to I wanted to see. How much came off on the balancer.

Very nice job on the Flywheel James.
The balance job turned out great.
That's the way it should be done.👍
Thanks for sharing the process James.
Have a good evening.

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thanks Ed, hope you're good

[@Tooooooon]

Not a surprise all your engines in various teams are so successful. No doubt with your skill and hard work 2024 will be a success!.Great video as per usual 👍

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thanks Michael, hopefully, there's been a couple of driver changes this year.

[@jjamanda]

True gentleman HNY to you and your team. Best of luck for 2024

[@graceenginedevelopments]

[@benfrancis4628]

Nice 👍🏻 who needs a round flywheel anyway 🤣 good old Dagenham 😉

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thanks Ben.. all good now

[@paulcrehan9523]

Great results at the track James, quality work for quality engines, hope 2024 is even more successful for you, great video again

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thanks Paul, it's cold here at the moment what's it like over there

[@paulcrehan9523]

@@graceenginedevelopments I hear it’s a tad cold alright, weird weather here at the moment, I had the fire lighting on Christmas Day, first time in all my years here, it’s mid twenties now so not too bad

[@graceenginedevelopments]

@paulcrehan9523 I could do with a bit of nice weather

[@godfreysautomotiveservices]

Happy new year to you mate , great content as always, garage coming along nicely now and can’t wait to see the trailer updates 👍

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thanks mate, how are you

[@davidbaxter600]

Belated Happy New year James. Great vlog, a nice mix of workshop and something different at the NEC. All the best for 2024, perhaps this year you could be another You tuber with a stand alongside Matt Armstrong. Its not for the want of race winning builds from your shop.

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thanks David, I enjoyed the NEC, was gutted not to meet Mat. I'd like a stand at the NEC

Perhaps it would have been better to remove the cast imbalance first before removing the outer mass to achieve the desired weight,,,,

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Hi Ian, yeah I agree, however when I noticed it I thought I'd see how much it corrects the out of balance by.

[@Darth_Vulva]

Wow yeah that casting was terrible, you would think they would attempt to quickly balance it , get it closer to round lol

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Yeah it wasn't great.. all good now
