[QUOTE="Bill Thomas, post: 86863, member: 485"] The first problem I had was I was told Alpha's want to fit the bigend into your rod, I don't think they will sell you just a bigend ?. I hate sending things away so I took a chance and bought a flywheel ass'y on ebay, I may have had some luck, When I took it apart, The bigend looks like new !. I have a new Carillo rod, 1/4" shorter than standard, So I hope to fit it to my new rod, I have a home made 10 ton press, Brother Ron made, By 10 ton, I mean that's the weight of it !!, It has took me 11 years to put it together after a house move !!, Each bit is as much as I can move !. I have done a few cranks, Many years ago, I think people can talk too perfect !!, I bet if you check a few cranks that have been run, They are nowhere near as true as what you are aiming for. Cheers Bill. [/QUOTE]
