getting the intake worked out.
using the stock fj62 filter, but it has a square receiver. i welded up a square plate to 3 inch pipe, and then will have some hose and pipe from
www.intakehoses.com
to obtain this general shape.
been driving with this mockup intake, and the engine has a good vibration that resonates through the vehicle. make the change rattle in the ashtray sort of vibration.
thoughts?
flywheel out of balance? - there is a pin still in the flywheel from the clutch plate, is the fly wheel balanced with our without the pin?
adapter balance - there was a casting flaw that I noticed on the Isuzu Diesel Swapper. it is near the center, but is this enough to throw it off balance? The adapter centers onto the bearing in the crankshaft when installing, key to get it within .005 " of center.
harmonic dampener. i have read a bit about the diesel spike, from the large power spikes in the diesel engine. most diesels have a harmonic damper, a fluid filled damper that reduces this. does the isuzu have this diesel spike issue?

Engine mounts - the vibration should still be dampened through the mounts, right? i used the ford, fluid filled mounts.
Any thoughts or suggestions on the vibration?
