He won't even respond I already know that... Dave went rounds with this years ago... Like I said I thought the engines finally had been worked out after haing some time, should have waited longer to buy lol

It gets better anybody see the issue here??[ATTACH=CONFIG]528382[/ATTACH]

Is that a mark from the counter weight rubbing the bottom of the piston?

Only thing I can think of! wtf I just noticed it this morning showing someone at work.

Oh my...

All I can say is.... Wow

Pretty much has to be. The machining lines run the other direction until you get to that scuff, and those marks align with crank rotation.

Exactly, looking at budget crank and rods I have some friends around here with connections for parts, I can get a deal on Manley it seems, h beams with arp2000 for just about 400-425 cost....looking into what cranks and a buddy can get racer discount at summit and they local to me..., looks like Ohio crankshaft has very good prices... Also local

I got Compstar cranks for about 675.00. They were on the money on size and all journals were straight and within a couple of tenths of each other. A lot of low dollar cranks need work before you can use them. Eats up all of your savings.

what size rods are in this motor?? 6.??? also some machinest will take off a little in that spot when ballancing the assy but it does look like it taped the crank's counter weight.. does it show a sign of it being internally balanced? small harmonic ballancer and no weight on the flywheel..
