Lowroll Posted October 3, 2015 Author Report Posted October 3, 2015 Yeah, I'm going to pull the jugs back off and measure both cylinders overall length Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote
trickedcarbine Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 Might as well have the whole thing out of the bike at this point. I'm stoked you were commited to making it right and not compromising. Quote
Lowroll Posted October 3, 2015 Author Report Posted October 3, 2015 I'm honestly just considering replacing the crank at this point. I want to make it right, and reliable. For what I have in this bike I refuse to settle for anything less than 100% Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote

Lowroll Posted October 3, 2015 Author Report Posted October 3, 2015 I would like it to be on record that I did ask for one from the start and he didn't want to sell me one Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote
registered user Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 I would like it to be on record that I did ask for one from the start and he didn't want to sell me one Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk what components does your crank have ? bearings, rods, webs etc ? Quote
Lowroll Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Posted October 4, 2015 what components does your crank have ? bearings, rods, webs etc ? It has G115 rods, I won't know on bearings and webs until I get it out in a little while. It has a silver labyrinth seal with 2 o rings, webs are black. Im clearing the work bench now so I can get the engine apart and get you all some pictures of this race winning crank I got Quote
trickedcarbine Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 The g115 rods have held up ok. But.... Quote
Big Mike NY Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 I know it's easy to sit here and tell you start fresh, but start fresh with a reputable builder that everyone knows is legit and can vouch for, FAST, Redline- being in Virginia I would even consider contacting Sleeper06 here on Long Island.. He will build you a motor that will haul the fuel something fierce and be ultra reliable!!!! Quote
Lowroll Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Posted October 5, 2015 So, the webs have no name, one just says 58mm, the bearings say TPI, Taiwan RL. Quote
Lowroll Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Posted October 5, 2015 I do take my cylinders down in steps, usually 3-4 much like the cool head, however I have always put the jugs on first, got them torqued and then done the head. I hadn't considered using the head to square the jugs first. Good idea there. I did put in a call to paypal, the guy listened to everything that happened and said that if I was expecting a HR crank (based on Kevin talking me that hot rods are standard in his kits)and that's not what I got, then I had a claim worth starting. Guy was super helpful, I told him the measurements that were off, and that I had contacted Kevin and he refused to fix it. I hope paypal can help me resolve this, that's why we pay them right?

Lowroll Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Posted October 5, 2015 The call started as just asking if they could even help me, by the end of the call it was a done deal. I hate to be like that but for what I paid, I expect the work to be right Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote
Lowroll Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Posted October 5, 2015 I hope so. They said it can go one of three ways, they side with him and I'm on my own, or they side with me and he replaces the crank and the I ship mine back or refunds me the $390 and I ship this one back. There's also the possibility that he doesn't reply in which case in 10 days they'll side with me and just give me the 390 back and I move on, but that's a long shot Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote
Lowroll Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Posted October 5, 2015 I'm prepared for him to refuse to help me after this, I'm also prepared to come out of pocket for a HR crank and I'll sell this one off to someone that can rebuild it Quote
BANSHEE HP Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 Thats a $160 wang crank. Taiwan junk rods and bearings. Should be ashamed of himself for selling that crap Send that back to him, get a vitos or hotrods crank. 2 Quote
