Re: Crankshaft Assembly Question
21 Mar 2023 19:28 - 23 Mar 2023 08:40Here is a real Falicon
KZ 1000 crank
Ultra lite Supercrank
Round journals have been cut to porkchop 900 style to lighten
Then journals are knife edged to cut thru oil mist and air
Whole thing is highly polished
All the normal crank work to rods ,bearings, welding , truing, indexing and of course magic dust LOL
Dave
Imagine the piles of dust it took to make that crank, and the ones left behind ever since.

Optical method for checking the rod index:
Close enough for a cigar?
Tripple Checked

I have no idea, but she already knows.

The two checks I feel capable of doing:
#5 Thrust Bearing Clearance
...and
Rod Side Clearance
Bearings feel smooth

The very last Falicon Supercrank I had done I went with polished stock rods. I wish I would have had them bush the small end of the rods.
With all the compression I run in that motor I did have some minor galling in one rod!!! Could of Would of Should of!!!

Optical Rod Indexing. Any thoughts-opinions regarding efficacy?
Beats locating a proper 18mm steel rod, and provided purpose for some old Lego's.
