Crank problem


Recommended Posts

Took a motor apart for trans problem and found my crank is coming apart on the fly wheel side it opened up about .o30 over specs. from the clymers manual.

Is it possible to have it repaired and welded. All of the bearings look and test good. What about phasing i have heard this and think I understand it is basicaly checking to make sure the travel of the rods are 180 degree's apart or one at top dead center while the other is at the bottom of the stroke. I guess you would have to use a degree wheel.

 

Thanks

Tim

Yes, it should be repairable. Yes, you are correct on the phasing and it is something most shops will not check because it requires more tooling and time to do so. Lost track of how many cranks are out there that are out of phase. :blink:

 

Probably can take it to a competent crank shop for truing and welding or send it to someone like Falicon or Crankworks.
