Anyone wanna guess what's going on here?

Whatever it is, it’s hilarious. Reminds me of a Rube Goldberg contraption

Your making a mess and drilling holes in your wife’s good table?

If that’s the good table, I want to see the bad one.

Ok ok, some sort of tensioner?

Bearing puller.
Like a slide hammer but with a butt plug of sorts.

Hey forum, are switchblades/automatic knives legal in your state, city or county? They were decriminalized here not too long ago. Silly laws, probably stemmed from 1950s mafia/gangster hysteria and the like.

Mainly Lincoln and Omaha have dumb ordinances.

Pretty much. Omaha dictates a lot to and its getting annoying. Better than my home state of Minnesota, but there are downsides too.

Something told me youd be the one to get it. Dont know how you knew the other part but ok.

Balance shaft bearing, to be exact.

You'll get the general idea. The company above is just one example. There are lots of 'em.

How's it looking in way of material removal? It's smoother than the pics look. Doesn't catch on a pick.

It looks like you’re taking pains to remove and smooth that sharp ledge beside the valve guide in each port, on the side that faces the carburetor and the exhaust pipe respectively.

Would love to see a *before* before I see the *in-progress* pics. Or even an factory-fresh engine that hasn’t tasted gasoline yet, but that’s asking a lot. Is a rougher texture on the intake (for enhanced fuel atomisation) still a thing?

Yes, I still have to rough it up I think. There is even a dimple process that you can do but I think that requires too much precision.


Wondering if I need to remove more on the short side...
