Re: SFI flexplate mandatory in all v8s Jan 2024
So..is there an expiration date?
I have an SFI flexplate on my car now that I will examine for any cracks etc..but does it make sense to take one off that has never broke,and replace with one that might? |

Does each and every SFI certified product have to go through the required testing to meet the standards. Asking if someone in the know can answer, thanks.

Re: SFI flexplate mandatory in all v8s Jan 2024
A representative sample of the actual product is tested. Product is then considered SFI compliant for that part number. Any changes requires retesting.

Re: SFI flexplate mandatory in all v8s Jan 2024
Just internally balance the rotating assembly then no need to modify the SFI flexplate. Hopefully everyone sees me being a smart *** about this.

Mark, Nope haven't seen a 301 crank. Just adding thoughts to NHRA's thinking. Since this is opening a rabbit hole no body wants to go down

SFI 29.1 Flexplates have a 3 year certification time limit. Some brands will recertify if you send it in to them. Check with manufacturer.
