FE Technical Forum / 4.375 RPM crank
« on: January 08, 2014, 12:04:25 PM »
I'm considering a build using a 4.375 RPM crank. RPM recommends using a 6.8 BBC rod. My concern is with the 6.8 rod that the wrist pin will intersect the oil ring groove. I don't want to deal with that scenario if possible. Anybody ever try this combo before?
I've read about several builds recently where a 6.7 BBC rod was used with the 4.375 crank. My question is did the crank have to be turned down so the bottom of the piston would clear the counterweights?
A blueprint of the crank would be really handy right now.
