Do you get rods/crank balanced THEN shotpeened, or shotpeened then balanced?

[Howieau]

Anybody kno at all?

Also I rang Chermside ER Brad, and they said they don't do shot peening No worries.

Balanced then shot peened.

The shot peening process smacks the living daylights out of the components and effectively case hardens them. It's a common misconception that shot peening increases the strength of a component. All it does is give the surface of the component a toughened skin and effectively removes any stress points on the surface that could possibly form into a crack.

Although for really high revs, the crank should be knife edged and balanced, along with a full balance of the conrods, both end to end and equal weight to each other.

Oh, and don't skimp on con rod bolts. ARP have some nice offerings. Remember, most engines fail spectacularly because of the con-rod bolts failing...

All of this is true ... good advice

One of the only places that i know of that handles all this in house is BRYANTS ENGINEERING http://www.bryantengineering.com.au/

Or give Terry a call from road & track , he's a good guy .. I just don't think he handles this sort of stuff in house .

Happy hunting
