T500/TR500 Crank balance.

Post by ChrisK »

Does anyone have any info on what balance factor is used on either of these cranks (either as stock or modified)?

Do they use a "Balance factor" on a 180 degree crank? To do that the crank would have to be split and balanced as two singles and then pressed together.

They can be dynamically balanced using weights in place of con rods and then split and rebuild it again after it's balanced.

Not sure I would bother.
