I ran a WSM crank for years. I think I would trust them again over Hot Rods.

I had better luck with the WSM rebuild cranks than I ever did with the SBT stuff,I really hated when SBT bought out WSM's crank rebuilding program.They now have some other company in New York building their crankshafts for them though.

its funny how the best cranks around are....OEM. In the automotive world, OEM rods/cranks need to be upgraded when you add power

Thats because we have so many cheap ass people in the sport.
Thats sounds right...I kinda remember that....and wiseco does seem to make a lot of cranks...just not this one.

thats interesting because I bought my hot rods and the business i bought it from had them drop ship it directly from their NY warehouse... i wonder if thats just a coincidence:question:

There are Japanese Bearings, Chinese Bearings and then Tiawanes Bearings. At one time you would think the Chinese Bearings were the worse.......

I wouldn't say oem is the best. I would agree with wfo people are cheap. A new stock stroke crankworks crank is better just more cash

that would be the same guy that did cranks for wsm in the 1st place. his name is mike. aka new york crankshaft. if you let him know its going into a motor with work done to it he will set up a nice trued and welded crank for you.i am running a "mike crank"in my ported superjet. 215 psi WOT all day long. the crank has about 300 hours on it in 2 years still running strong.

I am thinking about trying out a sbt crank this time around. I have not heard any one with direct experience ever complain about them.

Sent my 64X crank to Crank Works for a re-build. The service tech called me today and reviewed the prices....$515.00 for my OEM crank rebuilt with HotRods parts & bearings, and maybe using the pins over. ?? It was something like $250.00 more for OEM bearings. He also told me they assemble the BILLET cranks with HotRods bearings, I said, are you sure? Yep. He said they have NO problems with the parts and bearings. Hmmmmm
What's the sense of having a stock stroke crank rebuilt when the cost of a new one (OEM or HotRods,your choice) is about the same.
I told him to keep it. So, there you have it. Buy a cheap HotRods crank, run it til it breaks(maybe 2 seasons), throw it all in the trash, buy all new...repeat...:biggrin:
