Impressive just sat on the bench but looks really good in an engine. RE: fantastic but not cheap - Ian M - 07-01-2019 Fascinating stuff, Tony! Thank you for explaining. RE: fantastic but not cheap - Tony Betts - 07-01-2019 Thanks IAN, Gerry, dave passed away 6 years ago. So I would guess he started doing them 20 years ago. The pump could be from either dave flake or PAUL bonewell. I only had one batch from dave, because paul was to busy. Tony. RE: fantastic but not cheap - dickie65 - 07-01-2019 Hi Tony, Do you Have a Display Case to go with the Hadley Crank and Rods,? It has to have a Mirrored back.!!!!! Has anybody set up an Engineering Art Galley Yet. The oil pump does look like the Quarry Engineering one to me. Cheers Richard RE: fantastic but not cheap - Tony Betts - 08-01-2019 Hi richard, I'll say NO. But I did think perhaps I should until I use it Tony. RE: fantastic but not cheap - Tony Betts - 09-01-2019 JonE, Your next Ulster rep is already on ebay. Currently £2,700 All you need is a body. Tony. RE: fantastic but not cheap - JonE - 09-01-2019 certainly not going to be my next Ulster rep, but I take your point!

So my problem is were do I get a new replacement crankshaft. I am in NZ RE: fantastic but not cheap - Bob Culver - 31-01-2019 What is history? Has it been subject to extreme rpm? Has it been dropped on end, cracking the nitride layer? Perhaps before delivery. Has it been reground, removing the nitride layer? I presume the nitriding is the main reason for Phoenix reliability but the process is not majic. Stresses go up with the square of revs and 10% stress increase has a huge effect on fatigue life. It is odd that cranks fail at th rear where bridge bending is supposedly least. I guess the flywheel acts as a rigid anchor. Torque is reckoned not very significant. RE: fantastic but not cheap - Alan - 31-01-2019 I’ve known a few to break. Usually after a hard life or an unsuitable regrind i.e.not enough radius in the corners. I don’t think torque is particularly significant either Bob, but I blame a lot on dynamic imbalance of the flywheel. |
