Hello folks, I have not done an update on my 20 F for a while but all has not been still.
Hopefully I will soon be able to post an update on my project thread soon but my next job is to balance the crank. First I need to determine the balance factor that I need.
Cotten did suggest to me last year that I should determine the existing factor and use that. However it occurred to me that the balance factor of my engine is not the Harley Factory factor because my engine was rebuilt in 1989 and had a new crankpin, oversize wrist/gudgeon pins and various other new bottom end parts but was not rebalanced at that time.
I have read the various posts on the forums and there seems to be various opinions ranging from 50% to 64%. Now I know that there is a wealth of knowledge and experience on here and so I have a simple question.
What factor do you recommend for a 61" Harley J model and is your recommendation based on experience? (Is that 2 questions?)
Thanks guys.
John
