So I got my new billet, very pretty crankshaft finally. Some people would
expect that when it came it would be done. Those people do knitting or some
such for a hobby. So yesterday I took my new crank to Armondo, our local
crankshaft grinder to finish it. On the up side I knew that I would have the
coolest crank in the place. After carrying it inside and looking it over
Armondo set it down next to the Billet 1914 Buick 4 cylinder crank. About half
again longer than the Dodge. 5 inch stroke. Only 3 mains. counterweighted with
2 inch rod journals same as my crank. Giant billet rods that use two SBC rod
bearings per. Armondo thought it was a Valesco crank and rods. Apparently they
aren't really finished when you get them either. I walked out feeling kind of
like the little guy in the locker room. Again.
