Crank oil pan opinions

No “Honda rods” any of us was aware of. I had told my crankshaft guy what I was trying to do, and he said I might also think about smaller crank journals, to lower bearing surface speed & save a little more rotating weight. He put me into .060” under bearings. I had never heard of those. Very thick. LOL

Old guys may remember my machinist, and crankshaft wizard: Roy “Goob” Tuller, who drove “The Freight Train” twin engine Top Gas Dragster, out of California? Not sure how many years he drove it. His crankshafts were almost to pretty to hide in an engine. I had a famous machinist! We all called him Goober.
