Once again we seem to be running into random manufacturer bashing, without meaningful backup, then a small temper tantrum when no one agrees with the basis for the bashing. I have left the "bashing", but I will not allow immature "flames" to be posted. That is not what Advanced Tech is all about.... .never has been, never will be.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. No one is allowed to over-ride the language filter, flame and act childish.

Thanks in advance for everyone's cooperation.

All of yall I just wanna say that i'm sorry for my comments and that I never should have bashed scat like that and you can be assured that it wont happen again! Sorry if I made anybody mad and I realize that I obviously did'nt know near as much about scat as I thought I did. As I am sure you all can tell I have been very humbled

 

Balancing can easily cost this much, or more. That mallory metal is $$$ and the labor isn't cheap either.

younggun,

even though I had no response or concern to your previous posts, i appluad your reply. I suffer from saying thing that I don't know alot about sometimes, and it takes a big person with a set of ***** to make the statement you made. I'm just saying, I'm glad I am not the only one who admits to being humbled. There's alot of people on this board who would never admit to it.

Mallory isn't cheap by any means (the two inch-by-inch slugs in my crank were something like $40/each), but my prefered machine shop only charges $125 for basic balancing. Seems like $360 for the whole job might be a bit steep, but then again I don't know what the going rate is in other areas of the country.

As far as the Scat cranks go, I've got a couple of friends who run them in ways that make me feel sympathy for mechanical objects, and so far things seem to be holding-up very well. For a budget build, it'd probably be my first choice.

 

Great line! May I use it?

 

Feel free I'm just hoping that I can convince one of them to start running a rev limiter in his truck that sees regular use in the dunes unless he can secure sponsorship from a valvetrain-component manufacturer.
