It didn't realize what was involved in balancing a crank until I started watching your videos . Do the dimples and holes create any kind of drag within the engine that you have to take into account? Or does that not matter? I bought the Franz and Grubb top end gasket set so I can replace some leaky push rod seals on an oil in frame 750 Triumph. I know the F and G gaskets don't need sealant but should I use copper spray or something on the copper head gasket or just anneal it and use it? This is my first time pulling a top end apart. I'm pretty excited to get in there.
a little bit of copper coat wouldnt hurt man.. as far as the holes the windage and oil vortex doesnt care about those holes lol as far as we are concerned
@@dirtyshirtrichter8647 I appreciate the tips. Getting the right size push rod seals with the 30 to 40 thou squish on the head worries me a little because I haven't done it before.. And I usually end up doing a job twice before getting it right, so we'll see. Do you put anything on the pushrod seals, like Blue Hylomar? I see a lot of guys using silicone.
Nicely presented, regarding stretch rod bolts, should they be replaced every time you remove them? My Japanese engine has bolts that are just torqued up, I was going to re-use them (I took the caps off, then realised I didn`t need to)
I never tire of watching a true professional at work, absolutely fascinating many thanks for posting.
Just watched this again to wrap my head around the process. So glad my crank shaft and engine components are in your capable hands!
Later, Dude!👍
Great upload, I love all things Triumph and hope 24 is going to be a good one!
A master at work.
Beautiful vdos, very well explained 🙏🏼

yes you can reuse them if they dont exceed the stretch limit
