swilerc Posted March 23, 2014 Report Posted March 23, 2014 Ok I took apart my casing and found out that one connecting rod was busted, and the other was fine. Is there a way to put a new connecting rod on or do i have to buy a whole new crankshaft? If i do have to buy a new crankshaft what is the best. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted March 23, 2014 Report Posted March 23, 2014 I would seek out another stocker and get it trued and welded. Quote
Finch Posted March 23, 2014 Report Posted March 23, 2014 new hot rods crank is usually cheaper then a rebuild Quote
swilerc Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Posted March 23, 2014 if i do that should i go ahead and get new pistons? Quote
swilerc Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Posted March 23, 2014 what are the differences in 115mm rods and 110mm rods?? Same question with 4mm and 5mm cranks? Quote
RadarRacing Posted March 23, 2014 Report Posted March 23, 2014 If you have a broken rod you should basically do crank , pistons , seals and basically go thru it. A crank will be under $500 add $200-300 approx for pistons and gaskets , seals. Quote
swilerc Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) OK what brands would you prefer? and would you do a bigger crank and pistons then or just leave it stock? Edited March 23, 2014 by swilerc Quote
Larry's Shee Posted March 23, 2014 Report Posted March 23, 2014 What's your budget? What caused rod to break? How did it run before it blew? What other mods do you have? What are your short and long term plans for this? Quote
swilerc Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Posted March 23, 2014 Budget: Cheap but reliable Cause: I have no idea when i get a chance i'll take pictures Before: It ran like a champ Mods: it was bored over .01 and exhaust Plans: A little racing, dunes, and trails Quote
Larry's Shee Posted March 24, 2014 Report Posted March 24, 2014 .010 bore is not a mod. remove snorkel is. air box mods, carbs, pipes, anything performance improving Quote
