I like what you're doing. In the 70s my father started a drive shaft balancing business so that he would have a balancer to balance his V8 racing engines. At that time I started getting addressed in Two Strokes. All kinds of different ones Kawasaki triples mostly. One of the things I learned is removing all the metal from the crank adds volume to your crankcase. Usually I would remove metal from the light side then add Mallory and then weld a cap on leaving no holes in the crank. Also well drilling holes always made a cardboard template to collect all the chips to weigh them. Always helped with the calculations of weight removal. I know it doesn't sound like much but crankcase volume is very important. Also in certain circumstances when removing weight from the heavy side we would remove more weight than necessary than TIG or mig weld caps over the holes then machine them down flush. Or just a hand grinder. Just some food for thought. I like the video.
your absolutely correct this add volume , i did this DIY Crank for the average builder , most people don't have the resources to do what your saying , in saying that the average engine builder can achieve a balanced crank
👏👍🏁Thanks once again Darcy 🙏Easy to understand and clear, Thank You, 😎✌️
Drilling a balance hole directly beside or inline with the crankpin is a bad idea for obvious reasons. That's why the 2 original factory drilled holes are spaced either side of the centreline of the crankpin. Better to add weight to the opposing side (ie. Drill a hole, thread it, then pour in lead)
Not really , I've won 3 Season first place at SoCal , I've sold hundred's of balanced cranks never once had a issue
i assure you the con rod weighs more than 30 something grams. it's more like 80 grams. Why not balance with piston connected to rod. why would we not strive for as close to a 100% balance as we can get? 60% seems low to me
Needs counter weight to work properly can't be 100% with the piston on
lot of other factors to consider like piston pump and ring drag
I’ve been wondering what the measurements are and now down to you I now know thank you so much another great video man thanks
Thank you
Darcy, You are the MAN bro you will be my builder when I can afford my motor thanks for perfecting your art . I feel safe by having you build my power plant ! Keep up the good work and video's of your builds I love your designs of your bikes .
Hey, thanks a lot Darcey!!
Any time!
I tried balancing my crank and it came out to 67% balance factor and it’s very smooth at low rpm’s but at high rpm’s it vibrates like crazy, never had a engine vibrate that much, checked engine mounts and everything and it’s all good, wonder why it’s doing this.
This guy is a legend!!!
Great video..easy to follow!!!
Glad it was helpful!
I'll try this thanks 😊
So, I noticed if the scale is lifted to make the con rod level it changes the weight vs just leaving the scale on the table and being close to level. Which way is accurate? The conrod needs to be perfectly level in order to get the proper weight, doesn't it?
I've always just put the end on the scale with no problems
@dlhperformance7169 I ultimately decided to lift the scale using a deck of cards to make the con rod level. Without lifting the scale I was getting around 38.4g, with lifting the scale it says 40g. Interesting find to say the least.
Thanks for sharing your skills man. Your information is priceless.
Yes, it needs to be level to be more accurate
Great video :)
Thank you LA Hover , hopefully this video will help people understand what it take to make a balanced crank instead of just drilling holes like most do
60% For what purpose? High performance using?
New to this. What is the best % for balance? Or what is zero? 100% or 0% Not understanding that scale.
thats a broad question , go on my website and email me thank you

Do you sell balanced phantom 85 cranks?...if so how do I buy one?
i did but just for LA Hover
I appreciate the video but I'm confused on two things. What size bit did you use to drill the holes? In the beginning of the video you measurd the thickness of the crank but I don't understand why considering you used the same measurement of the distance between both stock holes, and then usedtbe same distance for the other two holes
the drill holes size doesn't matter , its the weight of piston and everything on the conrod , you need to do the calculation and remove the material as needed by drilling holes , the calculation will help you get the desired percentage over rotational mass
What about the weight of the hook holding the hang weight , it should be added to the piston etc weight. What about the level og the stand??
why wouldn't you do it with the piston attached and go for 100% balance factor?
✊🏽
Thank you
Bro I love this dude's vids he knows his shit.but Darcy are crank arms supposed to have play in em side to side play?
Side to side is ok not up and down
That's nice but i still don't get it,i mean,why do that;
---what happens if you don't balance it?
---what do you do with the balance factor?
---if you have a GY6 150cc and you go for the big bore 171cc, what happens with the balance? will it vibrate alot?
1, vibration and rpm range is why your balancing this crank ( factory cranks from these china doll engines are usually not trued or balanced for your piston } its a cheap built crank !
2, your aiming to get a 50 - 60 percent balance factor , lots of variables in this. one is piston drag , friction causing piston to be seemingly be at a higher weight at 12k rpm
3, a GY6 crank is a engineered , higher manufacturing standards , milled perfect, and yes a lot of cranks guys change the balance factor for racing
👽👍
i did this , the high rpm feels smooth but the low rpm feels rougher any ideas??
Brother when i balance the magnet side of a crank the clutch side goes unbalance then when i do balance of the clutch side then magnet side goes unbalance what’s the reason behind this?? Can you explain
bad machining , no quality control
How much would you charge for, engine, cylinder port, and balance??? Zelda 80 cc engine...

Hey I got the same milling clamp!
I have a crazy issue. Been working on a 50cc bike engine. It's been a disaster from the word go. What is the normal width of a 50cc crank From outside of bearing to outside of bearing? Mine measures 2.165". The problem being that the inside of the crankcase is only 2" give or take a few thousandths. There's no way in hell this will work. It had two thick gaskets on it when I got it and was a witch to turn, duh. So which part is wrong so I know which one to replace?
@@dlhperformance7169 I had someone get back with me with proper dimensions. Have another brand new engine to tear down because I'll replace the China bearings with better ones and balance the crank, so I'll check that crank when I get it out.
