[QUOTE="chark_mandler, post: 179109, member: 2963"] I have a Norton Model 50 that was last raced in the late 80's. Unfortunately it sat is Castrol R and my dads and on stripping the big end is dead. The flywheels are push together with no nuts and I found a speedway crank pin that just needed shortening to fit. I originally made the flywheels from EN40B and had them nitrided. I got an engine tuner to push the flywheels together and now checking them a few months later there is no side clearance on the rod and putting the flywheels between centres once side in half a thou out but the other is four thou out! Originally both sides clocked up under half a thou. Can anyone recommend someone that can true up my flywheels. Preferably in the Yorkshire area (UK) although I don't mind traveling pretty much anywhere for quality work. Thanks [/QUOTE]
