All I'm saying is that you will sacrifice some reliability over stock with a BBK and a stock crank setup that hasn't been improved in some way. I think that's something everyone can agree on, and I think it would be irresponsible of me to represent otherwise. Also, Falicon is good people... and our neighbors. Matt Hey Vendor Falicon is your neighbor so grab some Cranks along with 50mm and 52mm piston assy and have them balanced then Market your the Only ones with a Balanced Rotating assy that will live. This is common practice in the automotive world, custom Strokes, Rod Lengths and pistons and is sold as a Spun Rotating assy and that way average Joe doesn't have to find a shop to spin it, and the sell more product. |

I know that it's a common automotive practice, but they'll be waaaayyyy too expensive for us to market. We'd have to mark them up too much for it to be viable for most consumers. Based on what we know sales volume would be almost nil. It's better (well, far more affordable anyway) for the end consumer or one of my shops to have their kit modified instead. The cost would be more palatable and lower volume would make more sense for them. Since I'm a distributor and not a shop, I'm too far up the supply chain. Matt |

Or am i wrong.is there anyway I can get a real answer out of this in plane angles Yes, Your OE Crank is Balanced for the Standard Bore (39mm) Piston Weight, the Big Bore 50mm and 52mm Piston assy are much heavier so the assy is spun and weight is either added or subtracted to the Crank. So no there is No Such thing as a drop in crank that is balanced for the Heavier Big Bore Pistons... |
