slopoke Posted July 18, 2009 Report Posted July 18, 2009 Ok need all the help one can get. What is the best crank for the buck? (4mm) I was hung between weisco and hotrods. Was leaning towards hotrods because I was "told" it came trued and welded and wiesco's was not welded. Then I had saw a vito crank that uses standard pistons. That sounds good to me but......... You guys have the experience let me know. Quote

You guys have the experience let me know. Hot Rods Long Rod 4mill stroker crank is the only way to go. The longer conecting rod makes for less rod angle wich puts less side load on the piston skirts. The vito's crank that uses standard pistons has a sort or regular rod. I would go with a long rod for reliability reasons. Ethier way you have to run a spacer plate or stroker domes in a cool head.

I thought the ratio would be better on a long rod. I believe I will go with the hotrods crank. Thanls Quote
2004LEBanshee Posted July 19, 2009 Report Posted July 19, 2009 Well I believe either way your going with a wiesco. I believe wiesco makes hotrods. I would deff get a long rod. Also have it welded and get the domes cut for the stroke. Your better off not running a spacer. Its one more place for an air leak. Also someone looking at your engine cant tell, so you can lie.

Wildcardracing Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 Your domes cc and chamber design will depend on your porting, elevation and what fuel you intend to run Quote
