Hi Guy's,

I want to know if any of you guys have any experience running a demello full circle crank. Would really love stan to chim in.

I have one in my 1916 runs nice very well made

Have never run one but heard only good reports.

Cheers Col

I have an 88mm T4 centre main, chev journals, wedgemated crank from Jose at DPR. It measured out perfectly. Not run as yet. I have had a 74m DMS crank, nothing wrong with that either.

thats gunna B noisy

depends if you like the ( driving u mad ) sound of straight cuts

have you driven a car on a daily basis with them fitted it can B anoying

I dont disagree, open IDAs, straight cuts,no sound deadning, holley fuel pump, but not a daily driver. the ones in the photo are magnums, I have run cb's but they made virtually no noise once warm.

full circle cranks tend to be a bit heavier,the lighter you roataing assembly is the more power/less loss u will have you should see the latest F1 cranks almost no counter weights!,

yrs thats true but with VW the counter weights help balance out the vibrations and ossicilaations

yes thats right but you only need what you need,if you can get away with a small counter weight vs a big/full circle counter weight crank and there is no strength issue i'll take the small counter weight every day.I've got a couple of old rimco welded cw cranks that work perfectley to 9000rpm i plan on lightining 1 when craig brown is back in action.

once you go full circle then its no longer a counter weight is it.

the circles are machined to have the counterweight incorporated in it... (unregular width in circles)

So why did every one bag out Bernie Bergman when he did full circle a few years ago??
