I recently had an engine built by McMark (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) and I am now starting reassembly.
I figured that this was a good time to have some parts powder coated and hardware zinc plated. They turned out pretty good so I thought that i would share, here is the result of a couple of pieces. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Thanks for the tip on the fan balance. How is a good way to test the balance of the fan?

Is it a full rebuild? If so, you can get the whole rotating assembly balanced -- crank with gears, flywheel, pp, crank, fan. (I think that's everything.). Also a good idea to get your rods balanced end to end and matched to each other, as well as match the pistons. I think shooting for .5g between the heaviest and lightest is what you want.
Any competent machine shop can balance your stuff. I am new to engine building but that's what I am having done to my parts...others with experience may chime in. |
