COUNTERWEIGHTED CRANKSHAFT




WE AT PIRANIOS ANTIQUE AUTOMOTIVE MAKE SPECIAL COUNTERWEIGHTS FOR THE MODEL"A" & "B" FORD CRANKSHAFTS.

BY THE ADDITION OF THESE COUNTERWEIGHTS, THE CRANKSHAFT CAN BE CORRECTLY BALANCED. THIS LIMITS VIBRATION & REDUCES THE "WHIP" ACTION WHICH DAMAGES THE CENTER MAIN BEARING.

THESE COUNTERWEIGHTS ARE MANUFACTURED OF MILD STEEL. THEY ARE THEN TO BE FINISHED TO FIT THE CRANKSHAFT. THE COUNTERWEIGHTS ARE TO BE BOLTED TO THE CRANKSHAFT & TIG WELDED IN PLACE.



WHILE IT IS POSSIBLE TO ADD THE COUNTERWEIGHTS TO A FINISHED CRANKSHAFT, IT IS OUR RECOMENDATION TO INSTALL THE COUNTERWEIGHTS FIRST, THEN STRAIGHTEN & GRIND THE CRANKSHAFT LAST. THIS INSURES A STRAIGHT CRANKSHAFT AS THE FINISHED PRODUCT.



COUNTERWEIGHTS SOLD AS SET OF 4




COUNTERWEIGHTS CUT FROM MILD STEEL, READY TO BE FIT TO YOUR CRANKSHAFT & WELDED.
