Part of me wants to assemble it with the ABS 3d print base.. But I know it would be a bad idea. Next step is transferring to metal.

Also I heated up the crank wheel, similar to installing bearings. I used an electric heat gun for 10 minutes or so. You also need to shim the pin too keep it from pushing thru, I just measured the gap and found some feeler gauge and broke off a small square of it and set it up under the pin in the press to keep the pin up off the work surface once pressed thru. In my case I needed .022 thou shim stock.
Once one side is done, you leave the setup the same, square up the other side and start it, then flip the work over put your same shim under the pin then press on the pin on the other side to drive it home. Check your crank width and adjust it to your final needed size and check to make sure you have some clearance on the thrust washers.
I also just used 2 1x2x3 blocks to square up the cranks and pin close enough to start pressing it. I have seen some elaborate jigs but I have done more than a few just squaring up with 1x2x3 blocks.
Then smashy smashy on your newly assembled crank till its true. It feels wrong but it is very right.
It's not rocket appliances I assure you. It is very crude and the tools to do it "right" are very easy for a home gamer to make.

Stock was .002 interference when measured, I did the same.
To true I smash it with lead objects till the runout goes away, its very crude but its pretty much the standard for 2t cranks. It also gives you an appreciation of how little it takes to knock a crank out of true. So don't ever hammer your cranks in or out boys and girls.
Edit: Sorry I'm a skim reader. You asked how big was my press, It was a small 12t hydraulic 150 dollar jobbie.
I have done them before on 2ton arbour presses as well.

Anyone ever order from the site "FromJapan" to access japan auctions? I use Robert @ EP importers, he's just one guy who does this full time with his wife. www.ep-importers.com/Has sent me probably 30+ packages over the years and probably hundreds of bids on stuff. His rates are good and he is super friendly and helpful. Tell him Joel sent ya along.

Cut on CNC mill, it didn't complain.

If you are a student I believe solidworks can be free for 2 years.

Pin hole now resized for 18mm pin (.002 interference) assembled but untrued or balanced. 3d Printer is finally useful, for prototyping. Now I can remove the biggest restriction in the cases, the cylinder support bridge. Also making an adapter for a VL14? reed block, I forget already. Its the RC-One block.

You can try my guy Robert @ EP Importers, he can send it freight/surface/boat where they don't have a problem sending those things. I have had shocks and forks sent via him many times, ZX swaps etc. Downside is time, it takes a bit. for me its 4-6 weeks usually. for you probably not that long but a few weeks for sure. www.ep-importers.com/Tell him Joel with the scooter parts addiction sent you.

I drive the twin all over with no filters... and my corolla with ITB's is open stacks.. and the Dio... ahahah
If i'm doing a long haul I throw the filters on the scooters, but the car I never have...
I'm not saying it's smart tho.

Go to the store, grab some womens stocking slippers (I dont know what they are actually called, it stocking, but its like a slipper) fire that over the end of the carb and zip tie it on. Tune away. If you stretch it out it's almost non existent and it keeps the big smut away.
Depending on filter choice it makes you rich for a filter though.

Sounds like a killer build
If i could bother you if you have the stock or your new crank and a pair of digital calipers, could you give me some measurements from it, for science?

Are they the same dimensionally other than the variator end?
I am looking for the crank web to web dimension (width) and web diameter if anyone can grab one and give me a measurement that would be swell.
