That sucks big time! Where did you get that crank? Flywheel? Who assembled?

BTW buy the same exhaust as i did for my stocker. Call Greg.

The car was running PERFECT too. Everything was sorted out (so I thought )

Cip1 crank http://www.cip1.ca/ProductDetails.as...ode=C13%2D8180
Bruck flywheel:http://www.cip1.ca/ProductDetails.as...C%2DC10%2D5099

Pat and I assembled it.

I'll give Greg a ring,


Alex

I'm assuming you 2 didn't centerpunch the dowels. The dowels were in the crank when recieved?

Ouch..... seeing those prices hurts. I paid a small fortune for my crank and flywheel. Well over 1K. Never mind the drive to Fisher Buggies in Florida, to pick it up!

What'cha doing for a replacement?

Pete

Pete,

I'm about 8 months away from being a licensed machinist We didn't peen the dowels. They came like that, installed from the factory.

Not too sure yet on what I'll replace it with. Something bigger probably. Maybe a flanged unit

That Hurts

Sorry to hear about your Crank Alex, I feel your pain you have worked so hard on your motor. Well this is a good time to plan to go bigger, if it's going to be more efficient and the same money. I wish I could help but ya know I am limited in that area.

Good Luck

Sorry bro, the peening trick is dirty, very dirty. Can't you bump up to a 11/32 dowel and save the crank/flywheel?
