I agree,..I watched my machinist cut the center out of my toothed wheel so that it would mount behind the balancer,..he had to make a jig to support that flimsy 1/8" thick piece of steel. Once that was done I had to drill and tap the holes to mount the ring to the back of the balancer, then return to the shop to have him true the concentricity of the thing,...it was .030 out of round.With a 4 jaw chuck on a lathe, it will take more time than that just to center the work up so that it is concentric. I have been there and done that...
and you were expecting something different?........ took what I said at face value......
Its all fun and games until you discover that all the bungs upside down right hand aircraft thread.Totally out of what you're talking about Steve, but I'm drinking a beer to you right now for the offer of help with my little supercharger. I'll drink one in about five for mike and his offer for the porting job on my heads.
You're a good guy Steve, that's why I'm posting this here.
Look!I'm upside down! How does the beer stay in the bottle?
my guy made a fixture to cut the center out of my trigger wheel.. Hell, if you have the same DIY piece that I have, YOU can cut the center out of it w/ a jig saw.I called the shop I dropped my pulley and trigger wheel off at. He was apologetic but told me he can't get the trigger wheel chocked into the lathe.... something to do with the teeth on the wheel.
Now what? How the hell am I gonna get this done, he said he could cut the pulley down and then I can weld my trigger wheel to it, bit let's be honest here how am I going to make sure it all ends up correct? I don't have the equipment to make something this precise work. I wish I had a shop full of tools.......
maybe asp can make me one......
I know a guy in FL with a plasma table. Maybe he can help? I still need mine done.I called the shop I dropped my pulley and trigger wheel off at. He was apologetic but told me he can't get the trigger wheel chocked into the lathe.... something to do with the teeth on the wheel.

I like it.
Now how about the balance? Did it throw it off at all?

Meth does indeed eat aluminum, but I'd think that the kind of water mixture that you're talking about is diluted enough to not be of as much concern about that. What happens is that a white chalk like residue will start to form on the aluminum if there is enough acidity in the mixture to truly be corrosive.Hmmm.... it would appear methonal eats aluminum....
Who's got the down low on this, at what purity level will this happen? I only plan on running 30% meth to water at most.
Any meth resistant coating? Like por15? Or even a coat of paint in the tank maybe?
