bigweav81 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) No pics needed lol. Cool you're learning, and doing your own thing. Stick around, and be humble. When you stumble there's plenty of peeps willing to share....if you're willing to listen.

sleeper06 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Measure top of deck to bottom of port in mm and same way to top of port . Only thing I can tell you on building cranks is standard true stands are no good , you have to block the center bearings and true each side center out. pressing them is the easy part . The hardest part is learning to use your tig to manipulate the web true , you can true something perfect then weld it and be out 3-7 thou , I've goot about 40 or so under my belt now and I'm getting quicker n quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickedcarbine Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Single cranks aren't bad. Twins, triples, and quad cylinders get interesting. I've done a few singles, but I wouldn't touch a multi cyl set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
registered user Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 you planning to open up shop or just do your own stuff ? to me it doesn't make sense to get involved with cranks for personal projects but that's just me. let someone else like crankworks deal with it and you worry about the head, crankcase and cylinder stuff.

bigweav81 Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Buy a few books, and do some reading. Bell's book is a great one. Jennings is good as well....all the same old shit just less, and more of certain info vs others. Cc speciality is where it's at tool wise, but be prepared to spend a little money. Buy some junkers, and get to cutting. Sent from my SM-S820L using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
