engines and what fits what

[Wayne]

Next stupid question i've looked into getting the flywheel + crank balanced and lightened but google hasn't brought up any companies that offer it. Surely this can't be the case! (Im probably not looking in the right place!)
Anyone enlighten me on who offers this service and point me in the right direction? 

Anyone recommend someone they have used previously and had good results? 

Whereabouts are you based.

I feel supid for asking now! We use Hamlins for our special motorcycle cylinder (non standard) They are very very good! Had good experiances with them too...

Oh right,you ever headed down to the sw dubs meet? Where ya based?

forged internals are dependant on the revs you want to run. ARP bolts are essential tho for a cammed ITB'ed motor.
out of intrest what duration are the cams,  if they are wild higer compression forged pistons help quite a lot.   

you just missed me selling of a sh!t load of high cr pistons and lightend balanced bits

Don't say that...!  I woulda bitten your hand off for them! I'll be completly honest I bought this engine and didn't even realise they had performance cams in untill I gutted it! Any way of measuring the lift? etc etc

Plan was to run ARP bolts no matter what i'm just contemplating what to do with the crankshaft and flywheel,wether to get it machined/lightened and balanced or leave it as it is. The way I understand it is if i get the crank machined and balanced won't I lose torque? Same with the flywheel won't I lose the torque ?

I'll probably end up using forged rods and pistons anyway as it seems stupid to gutt the whole engine and not fit new pistons and rods. Anyone got any recommendations? I don't have much experiance with what works best but gives abit of reliability...
