>Fegus O Forklift Wrote - Parts designed for low rpm and low stress
applications may have serious weak points that short term/high stress (spin
VERY fast) and long term/normal stress (1000's of thermal cycles, and
others) may illustrate. The reality of 'shaking force' of rotating parts
and a fully weighted crank balancing is one of many.

I must admit the thought crossed my mind when Steve B. was demonstrating his
H-20 block, very massaged R-16 head, 44 PHH solex powered stroker by
wrapping thrid gear up to 7,000+! A mental picture of the crank jumping out
of the hood and doing a salsa dance was in my mind.
It didn't seem to bother him all that much though! Actually, by the smile on
his face, I would think he was rather confident that his industrial strength
block could take all he could dish out. Who am I to question another owners
joy?
