I'm taking OEM flywheel and having it lightened, balance, and resurface... because at this time I can't afford an aluminum flywheel. So, calling machine shop and all of them said they could do but one was wondering if the fly wheel was counter balanced, because he said if he was he couldn't do it so I was just guessing that maybe he doesn't balance but he quoted me 40 for lighten and 25 for resurface. Does anybody know if the Maxima flywheel is counter balanced??? Thanks

 

It is not counterbalanced. Very few flywheels are. The only one I can think of is the 400 cubic inch Chevy small block.

The machinist would know at a glance if a flywheel is counterbalanced. Instead of being a plain disk, it has a "lump" on the engine side, near the outer edge.
