390 is probably the more accurate measurement as I only used a large set of calipers and a rule well I shal measure the OD of the housing and see if there would be enough wall thickness left if not suitable I will need to locate another housing...

So far no good with the flywheel developments as I can't seem to find anywhere to balance it so I have not proceeded with the ring as of yet...I'm not sure if there is any accurate way of balancing it myself or I would have it done by now...

We used a performance motor builder up here for balancing, BUT he wants us to get him a complete crankshaft for future balancing jobs as it will make it easier for him to use this as a jig.

So has anyone got an old 3.9 or 3.6 etc crank laying around???? Then we have a source for balancing.

When I lived down you way and wanted good engine work done I would only take it to a place in Islington/Hamilton whose name escapes me.

Driving from Newcastle toward Islington, they are on the left near the plumbing place, just before the Beaumont Street traffic lights.

They balanced my 4BD1T.

I had one engineering place hesitate and say yes we will do it but when I asked how they will do it they couldn't give me a satisfactory answer... Only option I am still thinking about is doing it between centers
