Received my new Molnar crank. It's amazing that it weighs 2 lbs less than the old crank yet needs just over 300 grams removed to balance (the old crank had 5 slugs of Mallory). Off to the lathe today to trim counter weights. Unfortunately the 4.500" stroke is only available in Chevy rod width. Now the entire motor is apart. Rods are off the pistons so the rod big ends can be surface ground.

How many passes on that beast??? Where was the crack in the frame?? Was it from going up or on the landing workMaybe add'l bracing could prolong that.Your regular PM program shows the benefit!!Good luck this season.

No rest for the fast guys, Doug..... I read posts like this and think an 11 second street / strip ride just may be the right place to be. Good luck! I’m sure you’ll have it back together “lickety split”! 😉

500 passes. The frame crack was right in front of the left rear K frame bolt. Must have had a mouse nest in there at one time. Pretty thin, but only a small area. It's all cut out. i'll fab a replacement part tomorrow.

Average about 100 runs a year. Depends on how far I go in competition. Had a good year in 2017. Started 14 events, 4 wins, 2 semis, 2 5th rd loss.
