im still looking on the flywheel there so dear as a single item
got these to help with the head porting


its just balancing the crank to 0 you know like you wheel needs balancing to run tru they do the same for cranks then add the fly wheel and other parts and balnace them all as one so they run smooth then you can get the pistons and rods done to so they all weigh the same

Holy smokes Now thats the way like!
How much them porting tools cost ya mate? Woth doing yourself or get them to doit with a reface?

they fell in my bag at work
theres some on ebay but not long reach there really ment for mass removal then it would need tidying with sanding heads for the polishing part of the ports

i will be doing it myself been revising on the subject for the last few weeks i will be taking the hole engine to bits at the end of july in my 2 week holiday so lots of planning and work ahead

im not sure the cost of getting it done but if its reasnable then cant see why not to get it done
i also need to find somewhere local to get the head skimmed

heres the email from the people about the crank work

Hello Carl
All medium size 4 cyl crank units are £70 for the crank/flywheel/clutch/front pulley plus £30 for the rods and pistons, making £100 in all.

All prices subject to VAT at 20%

Each component ie flywheel/clutch/front pulley is added to the crank and individually balanced so that each component is balanced in it's own right.

Let me know if you need any further information.

Regards
Trevor

Been revising on the porting myself,and a tad worried i'll mess it up?Have to ponder the cost of polishing mops and rasps against getting them to doit?!
Your hollidays sound mint,can i come?!
