burgy1976 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Posted July 8, 2015 Has anyone ran one of these before? Is this a decent option to a billet crank? http://m.ebay.com/itm/201366607342?nav=SEARCH Quote
trickedcarbine Posted July 9, 2015 Report Posted July 9, 2015 That seems to have all the right goodies. Quote
burgy1976 Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Posted July 9, 2015 That's what I was thinking. How can you spot one of those "Wang" cranks? Quote
mailman Posted July 9, 2015 Report Posted July 9, 2015 It looks like a Wang crank that had all the weak parts upgraded. The Wang rods are the weakest link then come the cheap bearings. For the money I would go with the $800 TDR crank. The TDR crank is already proven by at least a couple of members on here. I am in the process of trying a WSM crank in a 7 mil. I will have to put some time on it before I can report back though. 1 Quote
BANSHEE HP Posted July 9, 2015 Report Posted July 9, 2015 thats a Wang crank with different outter bearings and rods. the center section is still the cheap taiwan bearings. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted July 9, 2015 Report Posted July 9, 2015 It claims to have max load inners, MaxLoad stator outer and TZ PTO. 1 Quote
BANSHEE HP Posted July 9, 2015 Report Posted July 9, 2015 this all the bearing info i see in the ad -Includes SKF TZ Bearing (made In Germany) by the inners of the pins not being welded down each side it pretty much means it wasnt completly unassmebled and quality bearings installed. Quote
RadarRacing Posted July 9, 2015 Report Posted July 9, 2015 There are a very few shops buying wang type import webs which are good pinned webs and assembling the crank with good bearings and hotrods rods. Those may be decent but if you are building a high hp motor I would try to find a good reputable proven crank supplier and stay away from ebay. You can get a stock crank or any crank turned into a 10 mil by crankworks for the price of an unproven crank. 1 Quote
burgy1976 Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Posted July 9, 2015 I'm going to get a TDR crank. I would rather pay the extra $100 and get something I don't have to worry about. Quote
camatv Posted July 12, 2015 Report Posted July 12, 2015 crank works told me when i asked if they would do a 10 mill to a stocker that they dont do that type anymore and recomended the billet. the 800 buck TDR is a great crank Quote
dozer Posted July 13, 2015 Report Posted July 13, 2015 crank works told me the same thing and they dont offer a forged one anymore due to too many failures. 1 Quote
registered user Posted July 13, 2015 Report Posted July 13, 2015 im not suprised one bit crankworks wants nothing to do with stroking a stocker, especially out to 10mm. you would have no material left between the pin and circumference of the web 1 Quote
BANSHEE HP Posted July 16, 2015 Report Posted July 16, 2015 this guy has never owned a banshee or picked up a wrench. Hes a salesman for a flooring store. hes correct on the too thin part and your correct with your statement Quote
