How to Balance Rods and Pistons: Alex's '70 Duster Build Ep. 10

[@PeggyParrow]

I like people who strive for perfection, because of that my motors stay togethet for a loooog time!

[@FanelliRestorations]

That’s certainly the goal my man!! Thank you

My pistons and rods were all weight matched right out of the box. Made it easier for the guy balancing the rotating assembly and cheaper for me.

[@FanelliRestorations]

Yeah so we’re these, fine for a standard build but for a high performance build their tolerances still weren’t close enough.

[@2HacksGarage]

awesome video. I am in the process of weighing out 2 sets of pistons and rods for balancing

[@FanelliRestorations]

Right on brother!

[@slomocalzone]

This is interesting to watch, Frank. I’ve never seen a machinist work before.

[@FanelliRestorations]

It’s way cool and fun to learn along with him, I get the inside view and share it with all of you!

🔥🔥🔥🔥

What was the wrist pin clearance

[@1962pjb]

Does he dynamically balance crankshafts there as well?

[@FanelliRestorations]

Sure does, coming up in the next episode! He actually just retrofitted his old manual balancer to a digital one so excited to see it in action

[@1962pjb]

@@FanelliRestorations Cool! Looking forward to watching that video.👍👍

[@ericwright5419]

So much for deburring Pistons 😂

This is absurd, trying to achieve perfection is impossible, you can't judge the difference between oil under the piston on the up stroke verses oil on the down stroke, and it's made even harder by engines using piston cooling nozzles, you are wasting time and money...
