OIL ? this is abit of a joke with some of my freinds we know were the oil is THE OIL PAN ? just not were it.s at 8000 grand and harmonic s first post on this site i realy pist some guy who is not on hear any more about harmonics frequencys I was not going to go there in a small post and what happens in a oil pan or cylinder bores . rods big ends piston pins. push rods can flex go out of round ,aluminum heads were is the seat when the heads hot ? all things about can move from power . heat . distortion and at times harmonics . from were bolts are when tighten up some things we do things to insure stuff stays round when you bore or hone a block but we can not use the real heads . we can not bore and hone the engine under load but many do the best we can do . some way better then others smokey was one but he was off abit off on the 10 pound rule . same with the crank we do know oil ropes the crank we try to stop this . but at the end of the day you do the best you can and get the mass balanced. it will affect the engine very low speed if off alot. at the end of the day with all new parts we try to get them very close add for some oil on parts. pistons are alumiunum takes alot to throw a crank off for a fly cut for valves after going to a bigger cam .pistons they all are going to be even with same weight . as they were balanced before you cut them?? better to have a crank heavy then to lite so pistons you can go less gram piston all in match sets .but not one or 3 pistons heavy there ways to make things work if you get in to a engine that lost one or 3 pistons should buy a new set but it happens were the new pistons will not be the same weight piston pins can use a heavy or thin wall pin .pin end of the rods can be re worked . every part of a engine and action in it self is a science. the way we machine a engine is a science . the more you know the less you know about whats really going on. many know nothing
