This thread got me wondering how it would affect internal motor friction. Most rods people go with are strong enough w/out this. But I was thinking about the crank and pistons. If mikroniting the crank, you should shed some friction, free up some power, along with the pistons, strengthen them a bit, also smooth out the tops even more, less likely to have hot spots possibly?
If you had the crank finished, would it still be ok the make the clearances a lil "loose" to free up some power as done in race motors? Or would it be too loose? |
