What is the difference between Neutral (internal) Balance and Detroit (external) Balance Flywheels?
A. Neutral (internal) Balance engines and flywheels are each balanced as an individual unit. In other words, the engine and flywheel balance with or without the flywheel mounted to the crankshaft. A counter balanced engine uses the flywheel to balance the engine. With the flywheel off of the engine, both the engine and flywheel are out of balance. Mcleod offers a complete line of flywheels enginereed to allow the out-of-balance weight to be bolted on or unbolted, depending on what the application calls for.
