Re: Fully counterweighted crank?
They all seem different, I have 3 here and none are the same.

Re: Fully counterweighted crank?
That is definitely a thing!
What lump of metal did you use for that first one? EN40B? HTSR 4140? Cold rolled? Hot rolled?

Re: Fully counterweighted crank?
This was cut from a lump of EN40B that comes from a European mill.

Just out of the vibro deburring tank and off to get nitriding coating done.

Re: Fully counterweighted crank?
Very cool.
Re: Fully counterweighted crank?
Nice. Curious to find out the final cost, and if you have any plan to do more than one.

Re: Fully counterweighted crank?
Almost embarrassed to say one of those projects where the cost run away. But, as with these things, most of the money is in making the first, the others will just be a case of loading the material and pressing play. If serious, DM me, but it'll be a few K and I'm in the UK so 20% to the unelected unless I can find a way around that as it'll be an export. Let me look into it.

Re: Fully counterweighted crank?
For those following along, I can't wait to get my engine rebuilt now.
I have been told drilling needs to be done before the nitriding, as it can't be drilled after. But can be easily drawn in cad for 5 or 6 bolt.

Re: Fully counterweighted crank?
Thank you sir. I now need to hurry the machine shop along so I can get this installed and the engine built up.
