Hello.... Did something happen with the 2286 engine project? I want to build something similar using a pinned crankshaft.... How is that project going? Do you have any updates?
@@fitodj3380 so a friend of mine is doing drag and drives ( sickweek) and is planning on going to hang with the big boys (9 second 1/4 street bugs). I traded it to him for his 2386cc 8 dowel motor and built transmission. We put it together and ran sickweek 24 with it he is currently changing the heads to some CB street fighters and a JPM cam shaft. Next time I'm over at his place I will try to get some video of it. As far as assembly , the CB stuff all went together easily, no extra clearance needed.
Unfortunately the vast majority of aftermarket cranks are made in China. Scat even has them made over there and finish the machine work on their high end cranks in the USA. A friend was showing me his GM ecotec that was apart and everything said made in China.
Thanks brother
I nearly slung a flywheel on a 1641 that had a mild cam, had to pull the engine and drill more holes for 4 more dowels, flanged is the way to go

Seems a great product, pitty it's made in China. It's that the fail rate of the Chinese goods that I'm buying at the moment is realy pissing me off.

OK so what about the shims
You don't need shims with a flanged crank . Endplay is set the same way you set endplay on you cam, by machining the thrust surface of the bearing.
