He also machined my back plate a little and I'm considering having some work done to the crank too. So I'm planning on having my rotating assembly balanced when I get that far. The van's standard setup was miles out of balance, so it's well worth doing IMO. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Makes sense , I have a 1300GT engine as the bases for my turbo mini . Engine was re-built by another person. Must check the flywheel based on your post in terms of weight before installing. |

It was more the thickness of the flywheel that was the problem. It wouldn't allow the straps to bend, so it had no clutch movement. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

However, the MK3s Crank is just a ground down 1300 one, so one could claim that the 1300GT crank was stronger becasue of the big(ger) ends

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |
