ok, so, i was thinking of having a spacer machine out to take the place of the balance shaft pullet belt on the crankshaft, that way it eliminate ever MORE rotational mass

any ideas on it?

 

HEHE! done.

 

done?!?! you mean you already did that, well damn, what did you do?

 

I machined the balance shaft crank pulley down to where it keeps the timing belt in place.

 

yeah, that's what i'll prolly do, what you machine it down with?

 

A lathe. Had it done at the machine shop. Works nice. Not totally needed, but it is a little bit less rotational mass.

 

i'll prolly machine mine myself if i can get the machine setup good enough

 

Just don't machine it to a too small diameter. remeber this also keeps the timing belt from sliding around.

 

i was just gonna take it down the where there are no "spokes" can't think of better name, but i am sure you know what i am talking about

 

That is a good place to machine it down to... We should name it (that spot) LOL.

 

why not just machine a spacer out of magnesium, or aluminum. It'll be lighter, and work the same as a shrunken balance shaft puley - with a better structural integrity.

There really isn't much of a point in doing this mod tho (I know why you did it Scott ) the force needed to spin that pulley is so minimal its ridiculus. The mass is so close to the axis of rotation there really isn't a need to.

 

I did it simply because I am mildly retarted and I have tons of money to blow...

lol, yeah that must be it

Oh, I found a machine shop for the sleeving, thanks

 

Sam, you can turn it on a lathe..

If you can gimme some dimensions, I can make it at my school for free.
