Hi guys.
Some time ago I built a lay down Westlake in a Land Speed racer.
I had problems with the balance. It vibrated everything off the bench.
I had the balance factor changed by the guy who built the crank.
Unfortunately he is not with us anymore and need to check a Vincent Comet which has been payed down at 30*
The Westlake was balanced to what a modern lay down engine is.
What is a modern engine balance factor??
Thanks in advance. Bones
I have a load of Weslake parts-- mostly new
I got tired of buying parts which turned up wrong(my fault for not knowing exactly what I have)
some of the new parts-- gaskets
valve guides
main shafs
main bearings
big end pins- some stepped
valve springs
cylinder stud assemblies
piston rings
big end sleves
There are lots more parts. I can measure anything to help identify the correct part.
The parts are in Australia

I've got some parts which are marked PRATT, mainly gaskets but some small parts.
I've been told it is a speedway engine but cannot find any info on it.
Does anyone have any info on them or even heard of them?
