well you are the first i know of. it should be a very sweet combo. what did your marks look like on your fw/ crank? what year was the 24o?

others have said they had marks on theirs, but on mine no marks were to be found. the fsm does say they are balanced together, but a bunch of us have had the experience of it apparently not being the case.

since the fsm says it i am now telling people to check their fw for balance. of course if you find it not balanced (mine was balanced on my 240) that is a warning that the crank is not balanced either.

now the five cylinder engines have shudders that a four or six wont have. my na 300 stick would shudder at certain rpm... not a bad one but it did shudder a bit. now i have had quite a few 300s (without counting i would say i have had 7 or 8) so i felt that i knew what it was and didn't worry about it.

is it possible the vib you are chasing is the standard issue five vibe? if it is, the heavier 3o0 fw will help reduce it.

nice setup you have there. i am definately jealous!

i have a five speed that i was thinking of putting in my 82 300cd but i have decided to keep it in my expro-ralley 280e euro and go with a four speed in the 300cd.

hope you get it sorted to your satisfaction.
