Well because I want to run BOTH the original cooler & an external cooler......

I've always had a soft-spot for these fan-housings... I think they have a more "industrial" look and fill the engine bay nicely  Smiley

 Grin screaming!

I don't see why they did pursue the roller cranks, barring the sifting issue with drag starts they were/are amazing.

they must be able to fix that, if i can dump the clutch on my 540cc supermoto on a pressed crank with sticky tyres they must be able to handle it with mods.

Just a shame they aren't still as popular!

This is what mines had.....

- Stripped, Pressed apart and all parts "Checked/measured"
- New crank end piece (1 of the 5 sections) wich is now wedgemated
- All sections/rods FULLY polished to remove casting marks etc
- Rods Balanced
- Pressed back together WITHOUT rods and balanced with flywheel & clutch 
- Pressed apart again to have rods fitted with modified roller bearings
- Pressed back together for the final time-......
- Cross-Drilled across the sections for "pins"
- Pins then welded into place

I have talked to Gary a few times and he has talked about using them on 300+ BHP TURBO Engines, On Slicks!  Shocked Smiley

Oh and his Daughter uses one in her Daily driver  Wink

i think the pins sound like good insurance, i'd run one! sounds like it'll be amazing once built!

was it easy to get replacement parts?  Cool

Actually pretty easy to get parts, Rods are getting harder to get hold of......

Gary has a massive stock of Parts/sections etc ready for rebuilds Smiley

Once modified & checked there is no reason not to run them... In my eyes  Smiley
