WOULD YOU RUN IT

[stroking]

I put the crank in the cases today just to check the squish and went ahead and check to see how true it was,well its around .005 out

 

i made a video of it but cant upload it so heres a pic of how far out it is

 

this crank is BRANDNEW never ran......can we run it like this or should the owner send it back ?

 

ALSO on the stator side the crank is VERY close to the cases

Try a different set of cases and compare measurements to the cases from the pics.

You might want to remove that zip tie before any further assembly. lol

What brand of crank, and what stroke is it?

Title says 10mil TDR. Depending on what the clearances are, if it's out I'd send it back.

look up the specs in the factory manual and measure the side clearance i bet its not together all the way i've been seeing this more and more lately ( not sure why) .006 is a bit much i'd shoot for .001 it will rev much easier and the bearings will hold up much better motor will run better and last much longer.

 

the crank/ pistons/ cy;inder is the heart of a motor and not to be thrown together..

 

call TDR they will make it right for you..

i called him and he said to send it back,seems like a really nice guy!

 

im glad i bought alot of specialty tools so i can check clearances...i learned along time ago that motors cant just be thrown together when your putting in aftermarket parts.

i was just checking clearances,if you look closely you can see there not even a tranny in there yet........wont get far without one of those... i think

[camatv]

TDR is great tony has never left me hangin on anything i have ever bought from him. ( and to think some shops would have told you uh its a "race part" and your screwed...) and checking your clearances is a good habit to get into!!

[dajogejr]

I'd like to see that same crank in an actual crank stand...and see what it measures out to ...then compare it to the cases.

 

As far as would I run it? Hell no...not on a brand new build/brand new crank.

 

My new Vitos this year was either .001 or .002...I forget...

[sleeper06]

.003 is the max .005 is gonna run but the unwanted vibration can work its way into everything

[BigRed350x]

The ladies might like the vibration, but you won't and neither will the rest of your engine parts.

[stroking]

he got the crank back and said that was the crank he had trouble trueing..(something wrong with the webs i think) so he is going to build a new one

 

it was almost .006 out

 

 

[dajogejr]

He had trouble truing it but sent it anyways?

[stroking]

yeah...maybe he thought it was okay to run like that.
