Does someone want to clarrify the difference between the "I" beam and "H" beam rods pros and cons etc
.......or buy a B&M plate, run a neutral converter and a 360 damper an run it externally balanced.
(You'll still need a piston assembly balance of course, but this way you can avoid filling the crank with mallory.)
My point was specific to crank balancing only - If the crank balance from the company couldn't be trusted - consider an unbalanced kit and balance it externally as per the externally balanced 360.
Buy the kit unbalanced and get a good reputable local shop to balance it correctly-

"not being as simple as a crank balance"
I'm clearly not an intellectual genius ........
Wow, Moparmal.....ease up.
If you balance a crank by itself, what is the point? You need to ALWAYS balance a rotating assembly as a whole or not at all. All parts in the rotating assembly vary alot between what the combo and brands are.
I myself, nor either of my machinists, will ever buy a "pre-balanced" rotating assembly.
My therapist and the voices in my head say I'm getting better .
dang,sorry guys,I'll ask my questions elsewhere,,,,,,,,,,,,and can anyone send me a list of the topics to avoid for future reference :boxing: lol
wow,posted the question,went to carlisle and, BOOM !!!!!!!!!!!! lol i completely understand about the balancing thing. after building the steel cranked 340 I'm currently running{7 yrs and counting since last rebuild},the question I should have asked is what will happen when I go spinning a 418 up to 6500 rpm on a regular basis????,the car will take it 727,dana,spool,etc
Moparmal,
If you need to continue your harsh feelings about CB, do it in a PM. This thread has become YOUR day in court to prove yourself. I think it's time for you to stop worrying about CB and wash your hands of this thread. I know you are trying to help, but this thread is way off track. Just leave this thread to the OP and others trying to help. It is the right thing to do.
I happen to know CB and he is very knowleagable. I am not taking sides, just want to see this thread get the attention it deserves, whether you , CB or I post or not. TIme to move forward and just drop it.
