Got crank and rotating assembly back from machine shop and am thrilled!!! pic inside
The machine shop explained to me how they balanced it first against itself and then against the rotaing assembly. He also honed 1/1000th of of the hole in the harmonic balancer which he says will make life a lot easier. My pistons had notched domes, he smoothed them all out. He explained to me that the angles in the domes were "hot spots" of pre-ignition and by smoothing them out the fuel flows over it faster and reduces the problem. Overall he really went to town on my stiff and I am thrilled!

Don't you love it when you find a master of his/her trade! Not enough young people heading in that direction these days.

Suggest you post the name+address+phone num of the shop. Word-of-mouth is still the best advertisement for these guys!
