With the new crankshaft installed, one can expect 25% to 33% less engine vibration. Additionally, wear on the main bearing journals will be greatly reduced. Automotive people know that it is impossible to completely dynamically balance a 4-cylinder, in-line engine without the addition of 2 rotating counter-shafts.
The type AB-2 crankshaft has been manufactured to original specifications, and will be in suitable condition to “drop in” to a properly prepared 1928-1931 engine block without further modifications. However, we recommend lathe-turning 20 lbs from the O.D. of the original flywheel, which would require it to be equipped with the V-8 pressure plate and re-balanced. But this modification is not mandatory.
The AB-2 crankshaft is ideal for use in connection with Cragar, Riley, or Ardun overhead valve set-ups as well!
