broken crank rod, major damage..............

[mike0chek]

almost positive ill be getting a hot rods this time

[Phelps]

i have 3 more sitting here with either a bent rod or its snapped.....all happened when the motor was at low rpms

 

bent one a few days ago when the motor back fired

 

i was told these (builders)/(companys)..i know of 3 that sells them) are buying these cranks for $150 and reselling them for $400-$700 based on WHO you buy them from.

 

 

 

 

IMO if you get one with 29L/R on the rod SEND IT BACK!!!!....and if you already have it in your motor take it out and send it to crankworks an have them install the grey HOTROD rods on it.

 

please tell me you only sat that piston on the cases for the pic and that's not how it came apart. clearly that piston is backwards lol

Look at post 17!!! That piston was installed backwards! This bike had to be running like shit. What kind of cylinders are those?

i was hoping that was the case. i realize there was not a rod to hold it, but had to ask.

[mike0chek]

You're almost positive?

 

well obviously not going to get a 29L rod crank, either vito's or hot rod

29L is a rod from a stock crank

[mike0chek]

meant bronze 29L/R

29L is a rod from a stock crank

 

guy from wicked said thats a chinese knockoff rod of his design

 

 

either way i will not install another one in someones bike until i show them the damage they can cause...then its up to them

So the cranks that herr juggs sells in his four mil kits are these Chinese knock off crank or are they hot rods ?

[03crawldaddy]

What about cranks from TDR? Only reason I ask is cause they are local and I'm tryin to get started on a 4 mil build.

HOT ROD cranks are grey in color...(rods and web)

 

if there black and bronze .... well ?!?

 

 

 

[mopar1rules]

Herr jugs does sell the chinese knock off crank as well as the hot rods. I bought my chinese toilet crank 2yrs ago from herr jugs, before they were found out to be garbage. At that time I was told it was a USA made crank. Bullshit!! I never used this crank yet either. Right now its in another case for mockup purposes only.

Hot Rod cranks also have the red aluminum spacer in the middle. Most other cranks have an aluminum gray one or a black one. Also Hot Rods cranks have Hot Rods conecting rods. It should say on the side of the rod.
