I just picked up my crank and bearings from the
machine shop, and plan on replacing the rod that had a
spun bearing in my MC-2, with one from my MC motor.
All this talk about balancing has me concerned, should
I have just the replacemnet balanced, the whole
assembly, or replace all the rods with the ones from
my MC? Better yet, can I get away with no balancing
at all?
On a side note, the shop had to straighten my crank a
little. Apperantly it was off by 10 thou. or so. I
used the blot in the flywheel method to get the crank
bolt off. I hope that wasn't the cause. Hmm. Have
fun in the snow all you Colorado listers! I sure wish
I had my quattro right now.
Thanks,
