Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines New Old Stock Crank - genuine or ef'd with?

Hey Deuce . . .

Not sure that I follow you. Those reciprocating masses can all be weighed for equality. And, I have never heard of crank bench that would spin anything but the crank and perhaps the flywheel.

How would the shop use these parts in establishing a static balance for the crank? In turn, if all these parts weigh the same then wouldn't the balance be un-affected when they're installed.

Am I missing something here?

Isn't it just v-thingies where crank counter weights need to match the reciprocating masses they are to offset?

regards,
Keith
