Doesn't really suit the A series, and I've not seen it done either.

No, Ive done, wedge, blade, backdrill, but not seen knife edging which is supposedly for aerodynamics. Swifty spoke of it a few times
I seriously doubt it! |

You can see it on this crank on the leading edge of the counterbalance

this v8 crank is supposed to turn in a bath of oil, so the knifedging is there to reduce oil/air mix, and oil resistance to rotation.

The only V8 I have ever seen that ran its crank in a bath of oil was and old US diesel motor that ran splash lubrication, and reved to 600rpm On 17th Feb, 2009 Rob H said:

how wbout foam filling the crank, ive thought about sedctioning the crank into maybe 6 parts, maching out all the innerds then welding it all back together and using high strength polyurathane foam injected back into the voids to replace the missing steel and reintroducing the lost rigidity, it a winner i tell you, Come on Carl, catch up! I did that years ago I seriously doubt it! |

Ive got some expanding foam in the shed if anyone wants it? i've already done 2 or three like this, quite simple to stick them back together with the Mig. |
