Balance

[nickleone]

For class purposes I am thinking of dropping 2 cyl from a 4 cyl engine.
Should I get the crank balanced with out the 2 missing rods/pistons or should I use
weights on the crank to substitute for the rods/pistons and run the weights once the engine is assembled?

Re: Balance

counter balanced crank is never gonna balance...hell, it is not even balanced with all four jackhammers. :

maybe trick it with a flywheel and pretend.. it is all pretend anyway if it has counter balancers.

I guess they like to choke on theories and pretend it is a real balance.

hope you get an A...

when the knowledge is that stupid, baffle em with bullshit. Hey, whaddya know, just like the automoitive market place.

Re: Balance

why not grind off the counter weights for the 2 cyl you are deleting

How about oiling?? if you don't have the rod ends on the crank, it's going to lose a lot of oil pressure.

I suggest you find the thread on our 1cyl SBC idea and read up on it there. We already covered a whole lot of this topic.
