dave5.0 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 If you get a crank welded and bend a rod is the crank junk or can it still be rebuilt? Quote
AKheathen Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 once a crank is welded, it can only be rebuilt twice. it des matter if bending the rod did any damage to the crank, though. Quote

AKheathen Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 just what i was always told. they have to be cut, pressed, trued, and rewelded eac time, which not only wears on the pressed surfaces, but the properties of the metal change from the welding. they just found that it holds well with 2 rebuilds after the inital welded build, but not so much after the third round. not to say it can't or hasn't been done, but if the crank builders wouldn't trust it, neither would i.
