crank not finished yet , took off sharp edges & thinned out webbs , so that when ol m8 balances the crank with the holes he drills it will be a fair bit lighter .

quite a lot of metal was removed from crank by me with angle grinder ,   piston & pin was 80 grams lighter per piston than std before balancing ,   more was taken from rods also , then 4 deep holes were drilled & more ground off the webs in the balancing process . I'd say at least 2-3 lbs lighter rotating Assembly .
