Odd shaking.

This has been going on for a while, but I have not really felt like addressing the issue.

While I drive my car I get vibrations throughout the car. The shaking it mainly 3.5k - 6k rpms, and pretty much goes away at like 6.5k.

When it started doing it is when I put in a lightsteel flywheel and a racing clutch.

But also during the time that was done, I was jaking up the motor a little to try and get some tilt, and the engine came off the mounts. Could the engine of sat back down wrong somehow and is causing the vibration?

Any input would help...

stupid question...but since you put in the lightweight flywheel were you competant enough to get the new counterbalance to go with it?

A bad water-pump could be the culprit...

Also, with any sort of prolonged vibration, it's best to make sure your motor-mounts etc. are not broken. Because a broken motor mount could either CAUSE the shaking, or if something ELSE caused the shaking, it might've busted the motor mount, making the shaking worse.

Well I hope dan atkins was competent enough to send me the correct counterweight.
