I really appreciate seeing your pictures of your build, thanks!
Looking at your counter-weighted stock crank I was wondering who made it.
I’m not sure if anyone is still welding up stick cranks these days but after visiting a volume engine rebuilding shop, I have an appreciation for what goes into making one of these marvels from yesterday rather than a computer-generated CAD piece designed by someone sitting in a fancy task chair at a computer.
I have some pics of a Berg CW stock crank that I bought in the 90s.
To me the counter-weights look quite different or am I looking at it wrong?
Check out mine.

Hi Martin,
It's a crank I've had around for a few years, done here in Australia by an engineering company..
I just had it reworked for some thinner knife edged counterweights to reduce the weight a bit and fit nicer in the case...
Probably why it looks a little different to yours...

Very happy with it after some checking and rechecking...

Are you going without a full flow oil system?

Yes Martin, I've never run one... Cool. Most people don't put near the mileage on their engines for it to matter anyway. One less part to fail, or leak. It's just as good to change the oil often. |

I took a listen the other day, nasty doesn't quite do it justice... I'm sure you're about ready to stab it in a car and see what it can do! |

Yes Andrew,
Just building another friends engine in the next 2 weeks then thos one will go back in that Lotus white '66 you've already seen and get a proper run in and tune.
Lots more time to tune this time and I'm pretty happy with the ignition system on this rebuild.
