can you help me understand timing on these motors we use for racing,port timming and crank timming, what modding the intake channel on the crank does and making the side ports bigger and the boost port. i also see guys reducing the thickness of the bottom of the sleeve and rounding of the bottom of the sleeve, this must inprove flow of gas and air charge to the cylender yes.

I remember now. Another way to do it without the razors. Just get an old crankcase that goes with the crankshaft, and you can use that too. If you go the crankcase way, make sure the theres no oil or grease on the bearings, make sure they're dry.
By the way, i didnt give anything away, I got all that info from EdwardN, there was an old tread where that was discussed, and more.

you cant fully balance a single cylinder engine. Just a FYI

Thanks guys, this info is great. Looking forward to anymore you might have to share.

Yeah, one cannot fully balance these engines, but isn't the trick trying to get it as close as possible to reduce vibrations and increase efficiency?
So we would need some kind of setup (I'm liking the crankcase method) to help us see/measure the amount of balance in the crankshaft, especially since one of it's main functions is to act as a counterweight/counter balance for the conrod & piston.
If I said anything wrong will someone please correct me.

Then, you take 2 rasors, and set the crank on top of them, you remove (or add) weight until it fails to stop on the same spot everytime.
nitrodude, do you have a pic of this method?

surprisingly most of the engines the factory guys use are not modded. they are all hand matched at the factory. i guess this would mean matching the piston and rod to the crank and also the piston to the sleve.
you would be surprised to see how much extra power you can get
although not everyone is a factory driver

ya.. what the hell you would be suprised how many companies SAY they do that anyway. i bet if i went to novarossi and so did...i don't know josh cyral and both got motors, mine on monday and his on tuesday from the time i pick mine up when i leave the door they are bustin but to make the very best motor for him, not to say novarossi does this because they are bad ass, but i'm sure those pro guys have something done. i bet more do than not. war mac i'm going to build a balencer and i will post it when i'm done. maybe someone can tell me if i did it right, after i spend 20 hours on it lol
