aja540i 1906 Report post Posted February 12, 2016 my only worry about adding metal would be that itll upset the balance. its spinning at pretty high speeds. There's already a piece of metal missing, the balance is irrelevant now. I doubt that the amount of metal we are talking about, that close to the centre of rotation, will have a noticeable effect on the balance. If you were really worried you could get it rebalanced afterwards! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MLee 35 Report post Posted February 12, 2016 You guys are excellent, and this all sounds far too intense for me. I've opted to buy another unit out of Deutschland, so if anybody ever needs a solenoid - I'll have a pair of 'em. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've opted to buy another unit out of Deutschland, so if anybody ever needs a solenoid - I'll have a pair of 'em. Might have cost you $15 at a machine shop but at least you'll have two units now. And, as you now understand, VANOS parts are hard to come by in NZ and now you have a near complete second unit to part out to other lost souls! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
