hot rods crank

[sheeban]

I was reading on the hot rods web site on my four mill long rod crank i bought last year and seen something scary. This winter when i tore the shee down i found my piston skirts both broke on the intake side. So when i was reading the hot rods web site they had common problems being that people miss the pin on the left hand crank bearing. I dont remember seeing a pin when i installed it only O rings. Has anybody else installed one and remember anything about that. I hope i did not screw up my whole motor.

Are you talking about the pin that is suppose to keep the outer race from spinning in the case?

 

I just installed an override, and there where no pins on my crank bearings. I do have a TZ bearing on the power side, so I don't know if a standard bearing would/should have one.

 

If the cases closed, I would think that either it is not there, or it is in the recess (unless you forced the cases together, creating your own recess :biggrin: ).

Yea there was a pin on the stock crank but i think the O rings to place of that on the new one I just wanted to be sure i did not mess that up
