i only do this behind the bosses back, so would'nt really be able to. contact curtis caddy as he can offer a machining service

its crank time, i had some of the crank counter weights machined down. this should lighten the crank alot, just needs sending of to be re-ground and balanced.
the bits that were machined are the shiny flat bits, there was 16 of them.





9000rpm here we come

if its the same as this it is the wrong one, i need a pressed steel one

Is it a rare type mark as i cant remember if any of the engines i've played with in the past have 1.

It is for the crank yeah? not the water pump pulley?

it is for the crank, but looks similar to a water pump pulley but has 4 holes in it. i'll try and find pics

this is what i'm after

been a long while coming, but i now have my crank all sorted
it has been lightened,balanced,reground,re-bunged and chemicaly cleaned.
then i have coated it & i ordered new bearings



next on the hit list is to have the combustion chambers in the cylinder head cc'd. in other words i am making all the combustion chambers the same size

was it wise to have it painted/coated dude? Surely it will come off eventually and clog all the oil ways up?

Cool dude he is starting a new trend of detailing internal parts.

no dude, its special internal paint. they use it to seal engine blocks internaly

to true, its not all about bbs's and poke. and because its red paint it will go faster

How come you did'nt knife edge it mark?, surely that would've lightened it more.
