    Fubar's GT Build

    Having done a lot of balance work I would say that is normal for the crank to have a few holes in it from the factory. Internal or external, it would not make a difference, they still need to put holes in for balancing proposes. They only cranks I have seen balanced with no holes are billets...

    Sticky Insurance Question

    Why registered here in Alaska? I'm pretty sure Classic does insure here. I will check with a few friends I think use Classic. I know AllState will insure, one of the GT's here is with AllState.

    Balanced Camshaft?

    John, I too thank you for your post. At first I didn't see anything in it, but after spinning up a cam I do see it now and do understand the benifits. And as you say its the power that is not lost that makes the most grains wether it is cam balancing or in other places in the engine.

    Balanced Camshaft?

    Soroush It is not uncommom to break a poly lock where you broke them. Most of that is caused by rocker arm flex. By adding the gridle that should not happen again. Nice to see someone running a mini plenum. Do you run that on the street?

    Balanced Camshaft?

    I am going to have to back up. There may be something to balancing the cams. I spun up a 5.4 intake cam today, it was off 56.3 in the front and 17.4 grams in the back. At 1/2 radius there is no way I would be able to correct the front, just to much weight to remove. Even the back would be a...

    Balanced Camshaft?

    As a guy that balances stuff all the time, I have never heard of balancing cams. I have however balanced cam gears in the past. I'll have to spin a cam up and see what is what with one. I just wonder how they do it. How do you take weight off or how do you add weight. Being so close to center...
