Will this work? I have to buy a new short block. Some internals failed and mine is shot. It was a cheapo anyway. I want avoid buying new heads so I'm either going to buy a long block or a short block and use my heads. Any thoughs?
Depends what you have the rotating assembly balanced to. I'm no engine builder but IMO if you are building a low powered low rpm set up (which it looks like you are) you will probably be fine with 50oz balance. BUT with that said I would NEVER build a stroker or any new engine with a stock balancer/fly.
ok thanks....do you have any suggestions on where I should obtain a long block vice a short block? I'll sell my head since that seems to make a bit of sense.
