machine work qizzzzestion
My "buddy" who was working my motor was apparently fired today, and I can't find him.
What does it typically cost to get a block bored, line bore, balance, assymbled, and whatever the **** else I need done that I don't know about because I'm a punk bastard with a checkbook? I want this god damn ************ built NOW.

right. the weight has to come from as far away from the center as possible for it to make a difference.
also many cranks have been found to be less than straight from the factory, so a check for straightness--and correction as necessary--is in order. it's probably going to be included by any reputable engine builder.
i've also been tossing around the idea of getting the crank coated. there are a couple of good ideas out there. i like the dry film coating that sheds oil, lessening windage losses.
