It's just an off-the-shelf 4340 crank...nothing special.

If I had the extra cash I would think about that very seriously. That way you could make some extra cash and I could get my motor finished...

But the wife and I are trying very hard to get the house paid of as quick as possible......before the bottom falls completely out of the oil industry too.

I have a set of dental picks, which make pretty quick work out of spirolocks actually.

Which endplay are you talking about? Clearance between locks and wristpin?

SlowJoe · 03-30-2010, 09:48 AM

On the crank. back and forth

Dale McPeters · 03-30-2010, 10:42 AM

Looking good Matt.....I like the coating.

And as was mentioned don't forget to check crankshaft end play....
