lightening con rods

[chopper]

For example in one of previous cars I ended up fitting a heavier fly wheel than standard and it made it a much better car to drive on b-roads as once you were up and going it never dropped out of its some what meager power band.

What were the problems you were finding when you were running a light weight flywheel on the b-roads?
I cant see myself going heavier, Just make sure the standard one i install has been balanced.
So i should forget about lightening the rods and just have them balanced. the machine shop quoted me £113+VAT for a crank lighten and balance so i think i will just have that done for the hell of it.
Starting to get all the bits together now in a big pile just need to decide what pistions i get before i sort the rebore out. That will be a month or so due to monies.

just make sure when you get the crank balanced you get them to do it with the flywheel and clutch fitted.

And crank pulley

Normal route is internally balanced so the flywheel/clutch crank pulley have no effect on engine balance and can be balanced separately. Advantage of this is flywheel/clutch can be refitted without indexing position & flywheel/clutch & crank pulleys can be replaced without effecting engine balance ...
