stroking Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 I Have a new hotrod 4mil with a bent rod,what i'd like to know is can i sent it to crankworks and have it stroked to a 10mil instead of just fixing the bent rod ? also i hear people say that boring a stock cylinder is not really worth the gains,well if thats true then if that true why do they go so big on the bore with the CUBs and DM's ..... i've seen where a DM had a 85mm bore.

Wildcardracing Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 I highly recommend billet if you're considering a 10 mil build. I really don't know of anyone re-stroking the smaller cranks that large anymore with the aftermarket availability, but I won't put words in Crankworks mouth and say they won't. Secondly the stock cylinders require a lot of work to set up for a 64 stroke, a 61 is much easier to fit. The reason the stock cylinders don't support the larger bores is due to the crowded transfer arrangement which is better dealt with on the monoblock designs. The inner transfer ports are really the problem area of the OEM cylinders as it is without crowding a lager sleeve in to complicate matters. Quote

BigRed350x Posted April 3, 2010 Report Posted April 3, 2010 CascadeInnovations.net sells a billet 10mil crank with TZ bearing and Maxload bearing for around 1k. A good brand new 10mil crank can be had for around 1k give or take a few 100's. All depends on what quality of a crank you want, if its trued and welded or not, pinned, etc, the length of the rods.... Quote
alf44 Posted April 3, 2010 Report Posted April 3, 2010 I can get you a great deal on a TDR or a Vitos 10mill crank. Hit me up if your interested. Shoot me an email. its in my sig. pms arent always working lately. You can always call to. Quote
Wildcardracing Posted April 4, 2010 Report Posted April 4, 2010 I really wouldn't recommend the Vitos cast cranks or the forged cranks for a stroke that large, they are just prone to failure IMO. I can do you a nice billet Crankworks 10mil with 115 rods for $1095, I can do a TZ upgrade for an additional $70. Longer rods will be a $100 option. Crank comes with maxload bearing, I only recommend the TZ on the PTO side if you are running straight cut gears. As for your cub cylinder question, they are cast for the stroke and can't be used with a longer stroke. You'll have to upgrade to a cylinder arrangement set up for the 64mm stroke. -Brandon Quote
