Nope, but doesn't change the point that a properly balanced crank whether it be knife edged or drilled cannot cause you to run bearings...mario_200sx wrote:Have you got pictures of your cranks knife edging?Gary57 wrote:Why would a knife edge crank spin bearings? If the crank is knife edge and correctly balanced to the piston and rods that is impossible.mario_200sx wrote: Draco, I wouldnt go with a knife edged crank. Knife edged crank is for race motors that are refreshed constantly (few times a season).
Having a knife edged crank WILL give you spun bearings very early in its lifespan.
You can trim some of the weight off the crank, but I woul not advice a knife edge......
Hope she is up and running soon!
Never heard this in my life.
PS my CA crank was knife edge balanced 150 000km and it never ran a bearing...

Re: Demigod...The hopefull quest for more...
Have the bearings and everything checked, the bearings is a bit tight but will see if I can turn by hand when I assemble, need gasget kit and cometic hg, then I can clean and assemble, don't have money for either so basicly no progress but thanks for asking.
