Are you sure the pics are not the wrong way round and you have hit it with an heavy hammer and sand paper?
looks pretty cool but would that affect the crank balance at all or not enough metal removed to affect it
Ha... Like it.. No that's how she came out of her Duc shell once I finally managed to crack her open.... X
Yes mate it would.. I've pre arranged for the crank to be balanced and knife edged previous to starting this work.. I know it sounds daft but, I wanted to do as much of the work as I could, so I spoke to the company who's doing the crank work who said they do all the polished work first before the knife work, so they suggested I did the polishing knowing how OCD I am.. From there it will be matched to the NCR hi comp pistons and con rods which are on there way.. Or should be.. Another post on here tonight with my painted NCR alt and clutch covers if your interested .. X NOODS
Well... I thought I'd better crack on with it after you told me off the other day.. Lol My covers came back from paint today too ( all paint no stickers ) Busy busy busy... X
The polishing and or the knife edging allows the crank to spin through the oil in the sump better.. Basically slip streaming.. Which allows the engine to spin up faster.. With everything balanced as well it should produce a little more efficiency.. Also less weight, which is possible as the cons and pistons will be a lot lighter, this inturn allows more to be removed off the crank when knife edged..
They look nice Good to see your listening I get all excited for your next picture whoooop Come on come on
yes i would say at least 40% of the site understand the theory but all that cost on a 800 cc monster..........? what are you looking to achieve...power?
