I thought I would show a photo of my Pobjoy T4 counterweighted crank for my next project !!

The motor will be around 2.2lt with a short stroke and big bore combo.:P

Not a bad price, i got a 78.4mm counterweighted with type 1 rod journals for $900.00 from the states might look into sending some of my type 4 cranks down to Stan to get the mods done for future engine builds.

This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

The size alone won't cause piston slap, what stroke crank is he running?

I dunno. I assume nothing exotic. Probably only the stock 1800 or 2 litre.

You are not allowed to run a 1916cc in the over 2lt class in motor sport.
