Just sent this to the guy who was selling the kit at the beginning of the post. I will post the response when I get it.Hey Josh,I saw the add you have going on for the 2.0 engine kit. I am building a high output 1.6TD. I am looking to go from 68 to 200hp. I cant use what you have up for sale, but I do have a question for you. I have been looking into getting my intermediate shaft lightened. I have it out allready. I know it only turns at half engine rpm, but it looks like easy weight to lose. I have not been able to find much information on the subject. I see people selling light weight pulleys, but nothing on the shaft itself.I have just had my con-rods polished and shot peened, cranks done, new pistons are back from swain tech, etc. I will be having the rotating assembly professionally balanced in a week or so. I would like to have the shaft balanced as well. Did you keep track of the weight difference before and after?I am kind of worried that if I take too much off of the shaft in the center I will get flex, even if it is balanced.What did you mean in the add when you said the shaft had been clearanced? Thanks, Jim
