  1. I'd sell them, or just put those away. Buy some cheap oem with useable bore. Go from there IMHO.

  2. I honestly like Bell's vs Jennings. It's all the same. Roy Bacon has a few good books as well.

     

    I've came to the realization that no book contains secrets. All trial, and error until you find out what works best imo. A few guys around here really know their shit.

     

    I just tinker with my own as a hobby/ means of killing time.

    So far I've learned more of what not to do lol. Good luck, and keep the curious informed.

  3. Buy a few books, and do some reading. Bell's book is a great one. Jennings is good as well....all the same old shit just less, and more of certain info vs others.

     

    Cc speciality is where it's at tool wise, but be prepared to spend a little money. Buy some junkers, and get to cutting.

    I have the Jennings books which I'm reading quite delicately to understand everything but I'll purchase the Bell book also to further my readings

  4. you planning to open up shop or just do your own stuff ? to me it doesn't make sense to get involved with cranks for personal projects but that's just me. let someone else like crankworks deal with it and you worry about the head, crankcase and cylinder stuff.

    You do have a point but i just want the knowledge because I may want to build a drag motor in the long run but I just want to know more and more on how to make them faster and fix them

  5. Measure top of deck to bottom of port in mm and same way to top of port . Only thing I can tell you on building cranks is standard true stands are no good , you have to block the center bearings and true each side center out. pressing them is the easy part . The hardest part is learning to use your tig to manipulate the web true , you can true something perfect then weld it and be out 3-7 thou , I've goot about 40 or so under my belt now and I'm getting quicker n quicker

    I have v blocks is that good or no

  6. No pics needed lol. Cool you're learning, and doing your own thing.

     

    Stick around, and be humble. When you stumble there's plenty of peeps willing to share....if you're willing to listen.

    I'm always learning and take everything into consideration but i Just dislike when people try to knock my hustle down when I'm still learning

  7. Post a pic of your set up/jigs shit like that. No one claimed it wasn't doable. There isn't a future in it money wise. I'm all for diy shit.
