high octane junkie Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 correct me if i'm wrong, but i thought Wiseco manufactured the "Hot Rods" crankshaft? i've seen complete "hot rods" crankshafts and i've seen stock crankshafts with "hot rods" rods and from my understanding the wiseco hot rods crankshaft is already trued and welded where-as the stock crankshaft needs to be trued and welded.

mopar1rules Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 i'm pretty sure wiseco owns/makes the "hotrods" brand stuff as well as "cometic" gaskets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajogejr Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 They used to, not sure if they still do. They're both made in Taiwan, so go for the better price. IMO, unless you're buying a billet crank, all forged cranks are the same. It is MUCH more important to get it welded and trued properly with a tight tolerance, and put a good max load or TZ on the PTO side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2strokespirit Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 They were 1 in the past, they are now each on their own.. Come out of the same factories in Taiwan.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
