Sorry about the disappearing video, something went wrong and I had to repost. Best wishes, Dean.

The law of Diminishing Returns should never be forgotten. When I am close enough if I go for that little bit better it always gets worse. And thank you for the compliments, you have made an old man happy.

Ah Grasshopper the crank Master learnt something from the apprentice!!!!.....those ball joint splitters are an indispensable multi use tool in the workshop, have been using and abusing mine for over 30 years, ball joints, bearing removal, Transit van brake disc removal,Bantam crank rebuilds etc etc its like the Swiss army knife of drifts😊

You are so right Dean, something strange when both of us are working on cranks at the same time. Great job my friend, I am jealous of your no popping press. Smooth as glass. Nice work buddy.

I may be being naive, but is it not feasible to seal the stuffing plates using sealants or epoxy or similar?

@@alanmoore9896 Alan, yes it would be feasible. The area around the crankpin would be the most unruly I think, there is quite a step. My thinking is that rather than decrease the crankcase volume, it is better increased for a greater charge, relying on port design and a properly designed expansion chamber for efficient transfer. This was Kaden's vision and he was widely plagiarized once his secret was out. Best wishes, Dean.

Great wok , any chance of the drawing for that plate ?
