Re: Balance a Burtz
JayJay, I got my pistons from Leonard Nettles. I believe they are Silvolite.

Re: Balance a Burtz
I'm going to send my Burtz engine parts to the balancer. Going to start my build first of the year. I'll report the results.

Re: New Engine from Todd?
BRENT in 10-uh-C,

Re: New Engine from Todd?
Synchro909, the "B" crank I have had already been machined quite a bit. So going to Model A size was no worry. I cut the mains down to 1.625. The crank still has the thicker casting and as cast...

Re: New Engine from Todd?
Making the larger main bearing caps is yes expensive time consuming. The real work is machining the block to match. Solution is grinding the "B" crank main bearings to "A" crank size and go from...

I had forgot all about it, and then a surprise phone call from Steve and he says your name is at the top of the list. Time to...

Re: Head Gasket Failure & Replacement Saga

Re: Burtz Flywheel
Terry, I understand the effects of the heavier weight. However, I'm not building my motor for speed or racing. It should work just fine for cruising and touring.
