don't ask me... ask the person who built your engine... you need to find out the specs of your gear before you do ANYTHING!

did you build the motor or did a machine shop?

if you did, you really should have sent out the balancer rotating ***. and flywheel to be ballanced. if you didnt, well this could be a big issue

what stroker kit is it?

and 500hp?[&:]

you used a 50oz flywheel on a stroker??? like adder says they are 28 most of the time........you can get one with a 28 oz removable weight..mine is a fidanza on my 347...but if you ran it like that for any length you might of screwed the bearings up and with the parts you listed...your not at 500 hp

lol.. better start looking for a paddle... b/c you are pretty far up ****s creek right now.

dont EVER slap a rotating assembly into a block without having it balanced with your balancer and flywheel


EVER!

the crank itself is balanced but what everyone is talking about is it needs to be balanced to the entire rotating assembley..meaning pistons, rods, balancer and flywheel ..cause if you don't...you have the problem you do
