If you can make .015 divide into .035 it is a very good cartoon.....

  Dave, you have had one too many margaritas today.    I will draw you a
cartoon and send it to you.  And to anyone else who does not believe it can be
done.

    What are you thinking??????????
    How do you plan on making a .035 change with only .015 material????

    2.875 - 2.840 = .035  destroke top of the stroke is still the top the
bottom is not as far down it all comes off one side with compression height
added to the piston or rod length added to keep the top position the same. If
you had a perfectly indexed crank with zero wear and a crank ginder with a
perfect machine and nerves of steel you need to go .035 under... In the real
world .040 to .050 .
    .015 is not even a multiple of .035 so reasoning escapes me completely.

    I think you need new math.. Possibly a course in arithmatic you know Sally
has 3 pecks of blue berries and 3 lbs of flour how many pies can she make???

      For left coasters only.
      I am seeking a crankshaft company who can destroke a ford small block
      crank by a measly 0.015 inch. I want to take the crank from a 2.875
      stock stroke to a stroke of 2.840 inches.  All my arithmetic says it can
      be done. >
      Any help out there?  Contacts? Companies to look at?

      mayf
