Anthony133 Posted November 25, 2012 Report Posted November 25, 2012 I was looking at the bhq sponsors and cant find one who does crank work. I bought a banshee that needs new rods and bearings, plus id like it trued and welded. Anyone know what sponsors do this? Quote
n2otoofast4u Posted November 25, 2012 Report Posted November 25, 2012 better off to buy an aftermarket. If you have to have yours done. Twister is who to call Quote
Finch Posted November 25, 2012 Report Posted November 25, 2012 x2 brandon does some good work on cranks and is anal as hell bout making sure there perfect before leaving the shop Quote
BeeCanBanshee Posted November 25, 2012 Report Posted November 25, 2012 Is it worth it to rebuild? Or does it cost the same as buying a good condition one? Quote
Finch Posted November 25, 2012 Report Posted November 25, 2012 Is it worth it to rebuild? Or does it cost the same as buying a good condition one? depends what all needs to get done you could buy a "good" used one and have it be worse off then having yours done and knowing its good Quote
timmyboy Posted November 25, 2012 Report Posted November 25, 2012 wildcard is a good guy to call hell run you through the options Quote
Wildcardracing Posted November 27, 2012 Report Posted November 27, 2012 I charge $400 for full crank rebuild. This includes teardown, inspection, re-assembly, true and weld. I use hotrods connecting rods and OE quality Koyo or HIC bearings. Bearing upgrades are available. -Brandon Quote
Starwriter Posted November 27, 2012 Report Posted November 27, 2012 Most crank failures are because the rod big end bearing goes bad. Does it trash the crank pin when this happens? If so, what are the "this crank is not rebuildable", signs that are obvious without even pressing it apart? Quote
Wildcardracing Posted November 28, 2012 Report Posted November 28, 2012 If the webs are good the crank is "rebuildable" . Rod kits come with new big end pins, big end bearings and wrist pin bearings. Quote
AKheathen Posted November 28, 2012 Report Posted November 28, 2012 i had brandon do a couple of 4mills for me. great deal and great work. rebuilding a crank, or buying a new crank are about in the same ball-park, moneywise, unless yours is completely trashed, but having it built by a guy like brandon, you know it's done right. mass production cranks, you know there are always going to be a few bad units, and you might not find out for a year or so.

Starwriter Posted November 28, 2012 Report Posted November 28, 2012 Rod kits come with new big end pins, big end bearings and wrist pin bearings. So on stock cranks where the crank pin is part of the inner web, you bore a hole in the inner web for a replacement pin? Quote
Wildcardracing Posted November 28, 2012 Report Posted November 28, 2012 In that case I would recommend looking for a good web or different crank that does or doesn't need rebuilding. I shelf good parts from junk cranks here. I have several good inner webs on the shelf. Quote
Starwriter Posted November 28, 2012 Report Posted November 28, 2012 OK, thanks for clarifying that. Always wondered about that on stock cranks. Quote
