Ok boetie luister na hierdie........I had a customer with the same story, in fact the bell housing was even cracking.........I took the motor apart , and started from scratch, ..beginning with balancing everything.....piston, rods,...big and small ends, and yes I have seen machine shops put pistons on rods the wrong way.....there actually is a right and wrong way......especially if the piston pin is not centered, which is common.....welded weights on a steel flywheel are quite common and ok..Also everything that bolts to the crankshaft must be attached at yhe time of balancing...go t the shop qand watch them, the workers get lazy...so the pressure plate will be balanced.......a decent shop will put "punch" marks on all the components so they can be kept in the correct place..All engines have a slight imbalance between 1800 and 2800........
