Hi i am supers and live in the Netherlands, and i am wondering is someone can give me some advise.

How important / serious is it to re-balance your crankshaft after having a new clutch ?

I am doing a swap and gonna buy a new clutch for my rb20, but i am gonna keep the following parts: flywheel, pistons ( only the piston rings are new ) and all Bearings are being renew. Any tips ? ore suggestions. ( re-balancing the crankshaft is round the 600 dollars here in Netherlands ( 400 euro )

thanks for reading this topic :D

it is not necessary to rebalance your crank after a clutch replacement.

not many engines require that anymore. the rotating assemblies are balanced independently not together

I wouldn't bother. Just have your clutch balanced.
