Ieat4strokes Posted June 21, 2009 Report Posted June 21, 2009 Which on is better? got a chance to get a nice deal on a 4 mill longrod wiseco crank, welded trued...... or should i wait and get a hotrod? anyone had any issues with the wiseco crank?? Quote
high octane junkie Posted June 21, 2009 Report 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 Posted June 22, 2009 i'm pretty sure wiseco owns/makes the "hotrods" brand stuff as well as "cometic" gaskets. Quote
2strokesmoker Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 i'm pretty sure wiseco owns/makes the "hotrods" brand stuff as well as "cometic" gaskets. Yup me too.....Wiseco def owns hotrods! Quote
dajogejr Posted June 22, 2009 Report 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
2strokespirit Posted June 22, 2009 Report 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
