RE: 440 Crankshaft Question

THE ONLY PROBLEM I C IS THE HOLE ALIGNMENT IS MISSION CRITICLE FOR BALANC!! I JDONT KNOW HOW YOU WOULD DO THAT AND MAINTAIN THE PROPER BALANCE WITHOUT SENDING ENTIRE ROTATING ASSEMBLY TO A BALANCE SHOP AND BY THE TIME THAT’S DONE YOU COULD BUY A NEW CRANK !!! I HAVE A DOZEN CRANKS IN MY SHOP PROBLEM IS SHIPPING WOULD OFFSET THE VALUE. SURELY YOU COULD FIND A LOCAL CRANK FOR 1-2 BILLS. I GUESS IF NOT ILL HAUL 1 INTO MY MACHINE SHOP AND HAVE THEM VERIFY ITS GOOD AND MAKE YOU A GOOD DEAL ON ONE. SERIOUSLY THOUGH IM UP FOR SCREWING A MOTOR TOGETHER WITH USED PARTS AND JUST CLEANING THE DIRT OFF JUST TO SAY SEE IT RUNS BUT IM HARD PRESSED TO TRY RE BALANCING A CRANK ASSEMBLY BY EYEBALL PROBABLY EASY IF YOU KNOW HOW. LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED SOMETHING

I need to change line c. to read re-drill flex plate holes to match marine 440 crankshaft pattern not 440/400 automotive pattern.

thought I would offer the group my possible solution:
a. Buy a 440 cast flex plate.
b. weld up the six holes.
c. machine the welds flat and redrill holes to proper alignment from a 440/400 template
e. Finish engine build up.
Reason for this possible solution: would have to completely rebuild a different engine (440 or 400), the marine engine only has 10 hours on it since complete rebuild.
Open to thoughts/suggestions.
Thanks in advance

Jim,
You are qualified to be a deckhand !! Yes, that is correct; they are
referred to as inboard turning wheels (propellers). If both propellers
turned in the same direction it would almost be impossible to steer the
boat. I have seen the clutches on same direction turning engines rigged up
backwards. In other words; one engine in forward gear and the other engine
in reverse gear when both controls are in the forward position. (requires
different propeller pitch..different lesson)

I think the "reverse" direction engine is one that was used in a 2-engine
boat. Single engine marine 440s spun in the same direction as their land
yacht counterpoints.

Thanks,
