How many of you all would rather suffer vibration (and nuts flying off) for hundreds of hours instead of working a couple hours to make the crank right?
ps- lightening the wrist pin is not enough
A couple of hours? Hmm *looks sceptical* -_- okay I am in no rush while I'm saving up for shift kit bits so I am considering reconsidering splitting the case.
I am worried about getting it back together again without making it worse, though. I think most people who have read earlier posts about it would be too.
I have read that much of the vibration problem is solved by reducing the pin and piston weight (easy if you can get access to a drill press), and correctly timing the ignition after the engine is built and running. (But how much this helps seems to be difficult to quantify)
What tools are required to make the modification to the crank and to reassemble it correctly?
