twin delertos an a cam. the cam shaft part number says F18
looking at the A serries cam spec add from reading the cam card of the info matches up to a MS3.?
so far my motor goes pretty good for what it is some people are suprised. but yea its back out for more work.
workm8 told me to balance the crank an said you'd notice the diffrence but then got told youd only notice at top end doing stupid ks? owell its getting done anyway anythings gota be a improvment.

bear in mind, just balancing the crank and bolting up a balanced flywheel is kinda pointless. ideally, you need to balance the whole bottom end, inlc pistons, rods, crank, clutch and flywheel, front pulley. basically everything bar the head. and as bart said in a previous post, have the flywheel doweled to the crank and loctite the fucker on so it doesnt vibrate its nuts off past 7000rpm

has said it's all or nothing i have one guy lined up that does cashys and says it will be about $350 and he's a fussy fucker
good luck on the build up

Balancing does entail the whole rotatiing assembly to get the most from it.
You could go for a more angry cam, but that will make it less drivable down low. If you head really is a marsh head, then it should be able to support a big angry cam. Shops tend to err on the side of caution when selling cams, as people get the shits with real brutal grinds. The other crutial thing is having a cam properly dialed in too. That can make a huge difference to an engines performance.

160jsss guess for em to do all that itd be more that $350 they quoted $260 ill have to go in an talk to them b4 take it in.
an yea think the head is done by him i took in into a few shops an they were really impressed at the work that had been done on it an asked who did it n sht.
yea thinking bout a more angry cam but im not always ringing the tits out of it just sometimes when get new cars sitting next to me that think its a dirty oldskool. i duno im gona go to cliff bond sometime an ask em some questions

[sunny79datto]

i went into cliff bond today.. an my workm8 told me bout the fat guy is a v8 man so anything alse is sht 2 him. got that impression soon as i said datsun A15 motor. well newayz asked bout balancing the bottom end n he asked why..i said coz iv done other shit gota good head on their an havent done my bottom end then he was like well ya not going to get much by doing it n said most of ya hp is at the head i tryed to tell him again iv already got head done. but yea end of the day he said well can take ya $ if ya want but dont think itd do much diffrence ya wouldnt notice it for what its worth their not a high reving engine.
i thought well it pulls to 8grand thats not bad its not a standard 1200 or sumthing. but yea what should i do put my gearbox back on an drive it or what?

[160jsss]

Don't think i would like him working on a motor of mine ay can you take it to another place
Don't cost any thing to ask but lot's more to pull the whole lot out to start again

[sunny79datto]

yea ah.. well i got it already sitting their to come out but b4 i pull it out id like to know is it worth going the way im going balancing the bottom end. i member 1 datsun cruise their was a orange 1200 that took of from the petrol station an he was out sideways 1st an 2nd gear an someone told me it was a A15 with delorotos n sht

[dirtyleppa]

fully agree, if he shows no interest, then he wont do a full job. as far as making power through balancing the bottom end, i wouldnt expect too much if anything. the main thing it will do is make it rev out quicker and smoother. it would be alot better to drive at high rpm, and wont shake the hell out of the car while doing it

[160jsss]

And last longer at the right revs ie flat out given shit
