[QUOTE=gustafson;1658334]They are both welded and bolted

We already have a poster here with a brand new engine which was supposedly had the weights added to his crank, but there is a lot of vibration, so it is an easy guess that it was not done properly. Quote

There could be many reasons for vibration, including poorly ground crank, unbalanced fly wheel and pressure plate.ect. Who knows , maybe an unbalanced piston. To blame the weights is kind of jumping to conclusions.
