Afraid not Paul, that side of the project is at a Mexican standoff unfortunately.

At least it is designed, we proved the 6th gear is possible in our 2.3L Rocket IIIs

I'm impressed, what will final c.i. be. Like the rods

Looks like you added a fair bit of metal to the balance shaft. If this is so, how did you determine amount needed?

Curious.... would the engine vibrate much with no shaft? Is it really needed? High Performance Crate Engines | Bonneville Performance removes the balance shafts on the engines they rebuild for the older Bonnys/Speedys/Americas.

 

[R-III-R Turbo]

Stroke is verified to be 101.6mm - same as the bore - now a square engine

Anyone guess what is happening here??

Dynamically balanced, what is that I wonder. And I wonder why Triumph don't do it from the factory, seems a lot more expense and trouble to build a crankcase to house a balancer too, make the balancer the right weight and timing etc, etc.

Whet the parts for running the first time ?

Waiting with bated breath . . .

That is a crying shame. Not enough takers?
