1500 Block Mods For 711m Crank
Posted: Thu May 12, 2005 7:03 pm
Fellas,
I've had all my bits checked out and it looks like my engine will be a lotus block with long stroke 711M crank. Using 125E rods with short comp height pistons. Before I get the block bored out for the new pistons, I know I need to get clearance for the crank counterweights to clear.
Can someone advise what the best way to go is ? I assume I will need to drop the crank in and see that it will clash at the bottom of the bores. Is it best to take all the material off at the bottom of the bores (dremel ?) or also off the crank counterweights ? Are there any other areas I should look closely at ?
Thanks,
Ben
