Slanted 660

It'll fix it self I imagine

if it didn't seat properly, no....

I've put only a couple of these together, and they are indeed best with a .035" shim on the PTO side boss to help the crank be centered. if ya did that, and then put the flywheel side on...with some jb weld in the way, it wouldn't seat all the way and you'd have a leak..... i think anyway lol

Or feel like it has a *s-word load of compression lol

If you've ever ground on JB weld, then you'll know how easily it's removed. I put the halves together completely and I was hard up into the JB. I tapped the crank around with a piece of brass and a hammer, then spun it around with an impact on the flywheel side. Then I beat the crank over a little to center it and did it again. Then give the crank a bump back and left it offset a fuzz

I do something like that at work on the presses. Bit that didn't move the bearings around at all?

If it did, it isn't enough to worry about, only talking a couple thou probly

Nice too know and this is my calibration tool at work by the way.

I have a wide variety of calibration tools then.

The boom I just made? Not sure.

The fork truck weighs about 17,000

Nah, just the boom. Nice work.

Nice thread Deets. I really like your ideas.....and your fabrication skills ain't too bad either.

 

[Mattyo]

I like that hanmer...just not on a crankshaft

 

[Brewz]

I dont like the idea of hitting a crank from the side at all
shortens the bearings life

 

[Mattyo]

I'm with you Brewz, but this is Deeters thread .... back to your regularly scheduled awesomeness

Anytime I've raised case compression and or transfer velocity I've noticed a gain.

Not always, Ported 460s will generally out run ported Hybrids, they just seem to have more torque (although RPMs go to the hybrid).

I have a well worn brass hammer......it's number one use?

Bumping cranks.

Never have had an issue out of literally hundreds of saws.

Come on now you want us to believe you've actually built hundreds of saws?

Meh.....

I have only done it once, but my 3lb lump hammer worked well with a piece of Oak between it and the crank!

I just had a MS361 on my bench that someone built from all NOS parts. Absolutely beautiful saw.

The crank was out of center by a few thousands.....and was hard to turn.

I bumped it back and forth a few smacks......and it freed right up.

Maybe I shoulda just left it bound up?

I don't think so....

 

[Mattyo]

Or just use one of my tools to get it centered

I'm so sorry I just couldn't keep my mouth shut
