banshee cranks are known to seperate, because there only welded on the outside i think, when you get a crank welded means its been welded inside and out, anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

If you look at how a crank is built, you will see it is simply pressed together. By truing them and welding them you can keep them from going out of phase and seperating.

[Justintoxicated]

since your crank is out of he case you should still get it welded, But if its brand new does it need to be trued?

[fixitrod]

Yes because it has to be taken apart to be welded properly. The inner web has to be welded as well as the outer. The factory does a good job of trueing, but there's always that chance.

A little off topic but, a friend of mine thought he bought a Wiseco crank a few months ago. Last weekend he broke a rod, pistons didn't seize, the rod just broke and tore up his cases at a minimum. We are trying to figure out if this is really a Wiseco crankshaft.

 

His crank doesn't have any name on it anywhere, does your new Wiseco crank have their name on it? Do the rods have the "Hot Rod" name on them?

 

Thanks, Ron.

Yeah, all of their rods are labeled as "Hot Rods" at least all 4 of the cranks that I have had the privilege of working with.

my crank is a hot rod, but it only says hot rod on the rods

I think i understand,

 

but would you have 2 weld it on both sides because of ballance and rotation?

 

 

or

just give it 2 some one who has done this before. and let them do it.

 

and the Crank I bought is the HOT ROD crank..::

would it still b a good idea to WELD IT.

 

I am putting Wiseco pro-lite piston kit 67mm in it.

yes have it trued and welded before you put it in. I didn't know the inner part needed to be welded also, on my stock crank they only welded the part where it was pressed on the outside, and they did not have to split it apart to weld it.

That's because the stocker doesn't have to be welded inside. That's why they say the hotrod crank is rebuildable on the inner web. The stock isn't pressed together on the inside.
