You better show us the tool you use for balancing the deep sump...

So what you're saying is, "get it balanced".

,,, and use a counterweighted crank, even a stocker with welded on counterweights.
(DPR and DMS make them that exactly way and they have been winning races for 40 years)

A stock T1 crank with no counterweights is ~guaranteed damage between ~5600 and ~6200 RPM.
It won't die instantly of course, pounding out the center mains in the case takes time, but engines do not self heal.

Balancing a stock crank probably helps reduce the severity, but, done even perfectly does not fix the problem.
Its a design issue, it simply wasn't designed for high RPM, nor tested. It flexes in the middle.

A truly bone stock T1 engine probably couldn't hit 5600 RPM at WOT in neutral by design.
(carb was too small, valve float etc)

nope it top secret
DPR or Demello's are all I will use. or a $cat forged

That poor thing suffered a slow, painful death by idiot.

Did it ever stop or did they finally shut it down because they could hear it over the radio?

[madmike]

No, I think they just turned up the radio by the looks of it
These came out of a old Dune buggy
