Engine Machining

Took a trip to the machine shop yesterday expecting to take delivery of the finished parts. Crank grinding was completed, flywheel lightening was done and although the block was cleaned and bored, he forgot to shave it. Hopefully next weekend I'll bring home the finished block and ported head.

I like how you lightened the flywheel. Looks like the right amount to keep the integrity and not too light to be able to keep the rpms up during shifts. All too often folks lighten too much on a road car and have problems shifting gears and have to wait for the rpms to drop to shift. Great for racing though when the rpms are usually held high between shifts..........good luck on the build........Doug/SpitMan

Thanks. I'm trying to strike a balance, the best I can determine from a lot of reading here and elsewhere and talking to local people. In We'll see how it goes!
