Your done after you ck the crank for straitness. You might already know this, but its crucial with that balancer that all the bob weights are exactly the same distance away from the radius of the rod throws. I use a drill bit for this.

Funny how society re-defines words through time.

If anyone remembers the Grant quick disconnect saga, I recieved an e-mail from Summit yesterday (1 year to the date of original order) it should ship in 8 weeks. :D:D:D

HP, I'll make some video for you to see when I check it today.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
 

L2L said .003-.0035, I didn't however mention the block was filled.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
 

Here are a couple videos I did today of the cranks being checked. I re-setup and checked these again just so everyone could see since it was mentioned. The videos are a little hard to make out but the first video is the old crank with maybe a tick over .001 runout. The second video is the new crank with under .0005

Did you ck the number 4 main, then the seal surface, then finally # 2 then the snout?

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
 

No, I only checked the center.

I finished a bracket for the rear today (not sure if it will work or not), did a little grinding on the collar for the trans. and finished some real "boring" block work. Had so much fun we may do it again tomorrow. Home watching drag racing YIPPEE!
