You're a master at working on those bottom ends . There is just so much that has to be done to get it right. Back in the day, the old timers I knew would do the top end themselves but never the bottom. That's when they would have to take it to the rip off dealer.
Those Milwaukee 8 cranks come shifted like that new too, but like you said not much changed down there. Done two already. .040" and .037" with under 5k on average.
Plus 1 on the old style torque wrenches. I have 3 beam style torque wrenches I use, two in ft. lbs and one in inch-pounds. All from the 70s. I don't trust the clicker type.
I’ve always had my lower end(s) done at a shop, always wanted to do it myself. Just when you go to do something that I really want to see… the camera points at the tools on the workbench or the floor, instead of on the actual work being done. Pretty frustrating! 🙄
I understand how squishing the flywheels with the c clamp aligns the wheels. But when you whack it on the top with the lead weight, how does that change the alignment? Are you actually rotating it on the crank pin?
the video shows the before and after the hit. that is what it does. i explain what i am seeing and what i think is happening. then i make my move and show what the results are. after awhile it some how becomes straighter. tatro
what i do is stronger then stock so that means you can run them harder then stock. with 25hp they work. more power and you will have problems. same deal as twincams. the motor over powers the crank so they come apart. tatro

the heads are were most of the work is and hp too. the cranks main job is to just hold it all together.

On a serious note though would the power strokes and vibrations of running the motor not undo all your truing work Tatro?

Phải nói là quá đỉnh tuyệt ok anh hay
My Western Auto torque wrench still works fine.
Could you fit Fred with a mute button?
Please
Dude is sighing so loud at 7:30 I can't hear you. What about a flywheel shaft groove? Don't get loctite in it either?
ok
