Thank you for teaching me something. After reading your reply I checked around on Google and of course you are absolutely correct. The pictures I recalled were from V8 balancing.

Darkhorse, do you have any pics of the balancing equipment? I'm interested in how it's done...in a general sense.

I saw met and took pictures of what's going on with this engine
All I want is a ride when it's done.

I am very impressed by the knowledge and professionalism of darkhorse. I recommend anyone looking to get some machine work done. Contact Him.

Take your time and do it the way you want it to come out. I can't wait to read more about your build up.

more pics please! if you don't mind disclosing trade secrets, could you do a quick write up when you are done? I have no intention of modding my crank, but I would be very interested to see how it's done.

Almost eveything Christen does is by hand. He is a very knowledgable engine builder. Going to his shop this past weekend reminds me of going to science musesums as a child. It was sooo educational. Christen, can I have another course on engine building when you are at the final stages of assembly?
