Demigod...The hopefull quest for more...
What went through the motor? How did it get into the air track?
Thanks buddy, I will let you know, only engineering will set me back because I will not try and rebuild the motor myself, so the engineers will have to build the bottom end after they balanced it.
Pistons will be powercoated, not gonna have money for new forgies. Bonus this year will go for the family.
Let me know what the balancing costs are please.
And good luck!

Will do...when I do it...
Balancing at full race is around R580.....and they do a goood job of it aswell! 😉
Do they knife edge cranks aswell, think I'm gonna do that while I am busy..
I am pretty sure they can 😀
What all do you need to send them to balance?

Contact for full race?
Why do I see porn on my screen?
Is it porn?

Draco, I wouldnt go with a knife edged crank. Knife edged crank is for race motors that are refreshed constantly (few times a season).
Having a knife edged crank WILL give you spun bearings very early in its lifespan.
You can trim some of the weight off the crank, but I woul not advice a knife edge......
Hope she is up and running soon!

Why would a knife edge crank spin bearings? If the crank is knife edge and correctly balanced to the piston and rods that is impossible.
Never heard this in my life.
PS my CA crank was knife edge balanced 150 000km and it never ran a bearing...

Nope, but doesn't change the point that a properly balanced crank whether it be knife edged or drilled cannot cause you to run bearings...
I will post my explanation in tech section, dont want to get into in Draco thread.....

Thanks
Will keep an eye on the teck section, the answer to the question, nope, she is standing till I have all the parts togrther and the money to do all the engineering.
Any progress?
