Re: Belltech drop spindle quality

Not so much now. The castings are very rough and devoid of any part numbers or logos. Has anyone else seen anything like this ?. I emailed Btech and they said they can look different according to the foundry they came from. Said they would warrant them if they had failed.
Warranty wont help me if they break at 70 MPH.
Info from Bell Techs 'customer support' service line can be accurate or incorrect. Talk w/more than one rep before taking what they say as correct. Any Belltech spindle I've ever possessed had their name & a casting number.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
