balancing a crankshaft

[MaybeGuy]

how would i go about doing this?

would i:
set the crankshaft up in a lathe on 2 dead centres, then file bits off the weights until it didnt turn no matter what the angle?

i do it with a couple of rollers on easch end of the crank shaft,
with a marker i put a mark on the crank shaft where its out of allignment.
then whack it with a hammer no really

its one of those jobs that really is best if you just lightly put together the crank with new crank pins (you have new crank pins i take it) ne big end bearings and the conrods hen take it to a decent old bike shop with a press, and get them to press it all back together,
chances are they will get it pritty damn close when the do it that it will only need a few taps to allign it perfectly

get some one else to do it, its not an easy job,
ive never done it or a crank with more than 1 cylinder,
and all the ones ive done it on arn't highly strung like the engine you want it done to,

send it away, and then check it before you pu it back together,
or ask one of your work mates, if you have all the stuff to do it at work, then surely some one there knows what they are doing??
you don't!! watch and learn

whatever clever machine he has, i'll have it at work


You have a dynamic crank balancer small enough for a bike crank at work?

do you know where i work?

answering a question with a question.. i would like to question that

aha, so so a trick question then?
how big of you.

why question me about something i dont know much about? i know that crankshafts are made where i work for both IC engines, and positive displacement pumps etc, so there would be no reason for it NOT to accomadate a crankshaft this size.

Why is your crank out of ballance?

because i wouldnt know what equipment to use, as it says in my first post...

i should think so,
like i said before, they make compressors as well as ICE's, and all sorts of other shit. the compressors have cranks of similar size to the RD350 crank, and i would imagine they are adjustable to some degree?

@ arial 1930
i dont know if its out of true yet, but if it is out, im interested to know how they are balanced.

On the subject, I've got a DRZ engine with a knackered big-end bearing.

Does anyone know the likely cost of getting a new bearing on?
I don't have the tools at my work, what with being in a single office with about 13 Macs and a couple of Dells .
