Here is an easy to make crankshaft fixture. Materials include a piece of bar stock 1-1/4" in diameter x 8" long, one old flywheel gland nut and one old pulley bolt.
Weld the gland nut and pulley bolt to the ends of the bar stock.
When the gland nut is screwed into the end of the crank, you can install the rods, timing gears and so on by clamping the bar stock into a vise.
When the pulley bolts is screwed into the pulley end of the crank, you can work on the flywheel end of the crankshaft. Check fit of flywheel, dowel pins, inspect threads etc. |
