Default Re: 478M Loosening Rod Bolts

the 401 and 478 have an externally balanced crankshaft-- that means that the flywheel and harmonic balancer have the counter weights on them-- if someone has the wrong flywheel or balancer on this engine it could be sending vibrations that are loosening the rod nuts-- but the vibration should be very noticeable
