Jorrit Bakker Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Which of the two crankshafts is best to use? Does anyone have experience with both? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonM Posted 9 hours ago Author Share Posted 9 hours ago Well the engine is coming together. Crank and cam are in. I have a new aluminum timing gear per OZ’s suggestion a while back. Assembly went well. I have new rods and pistons and am having difficulty “clocking” the wrist pins in the rods so the notch lines up for the locking pin. The fit in the rod is snug and I can’t find a way to twist the wrist pin. Is there a trick I am missing? Also the new pistons have some kind of cut on one side. Is there a preferred orientation for the cut relative to facing forward or aft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonM Posted 9 hours ago Author Share Posted 9 hours ago Ooops I meant left or right not fwd or aft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonM Posted 7 hours ago Author Share Posted 7 hours ago Since it is not a bearing surface, could I just ream the inside of the top end of the rod with some fine grit paper or similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
