wow these videos are sweet. You should think about a Tv show or be a teacher at UTI thy got a hot rod U program you get to build T buket its nice.

The crank is 60 some years old but hey I couldn't begin to be able to sound like I know what I'm talking about when it comes to machining so go on master machinist.I like these vids

yall must realize that it does not happen often or at all that the counterweights induce damage the journals are under the most stress so they will crack more than any other part of the crank why else would a respectable man such as John not check the counterweights unless there was no need to

tnx john for the nice up

A crack in ANY part of the crank will cause catastrophic failure eventually.

DUMB ? dO YOU ONLY HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT JOURNALS WHAT ABOUT THE COUNTER WHIEGHTS DO WHAT IF ITS CRACKED WILL IT AFFECT THE CRANK

Keep 'em coming John.. as always another very good video.

a three main inline... Crazier as a model T. I'd be checkin for cracks too. Is that a 4 inch stroke or what? Can I fit it in a boxer block where it belongs? That would finally make the boxer the inline killing monster as it could have been ;0)
Watch a rerun of M.A.S.H. to see a willies in action. Great vid. I may do that for an 87 sube in 20 more years.

Another cool one... ended up looking like haunted crank shaft ;)
