jasonsb Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 I had a previous post "do you think it needs a top end?" and now I know what the extent of the damage to my bike. The crank bearings went to shit and scattered all over the inside of the motor. Now I need to fix/replace the crank, pistons, and cool head domes. What are my options? -can stock crank be fixed? trued and welded -how can I make it long rod or stroker? Which is better for the money? -Can I put long rods in a stock crank if the crank can be rebuilt? -Piston choice? Wiseco or Vito's -any other suggestions...I don't want to spend a shit load but I might as well do something now that my motors is out. See below to know what my bike has! I want to keep my bike 50/50 duner/drag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 finally a worth while post! the stock crank cannot be fixed, trued wleded yes, but not rebuilt. to make it a longrod you buy a long rod crank, to make it a stroker you buy a stroker crank. or you can buy a longrod stroker crank. i answered Q 3 already. wisecos no doubt. porting to match your crank if you go stroker. any more just post back.

jasonsb Posted February 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Why do some people try to sell bad cranks on ebay saying that it only needs a rebuild? I can get a fairly new crank for practically nothing. I can get it trued and welded. That's an option that won't cost a lot. What kind of power difference will a stroker or long rod give me? I used to run about 65 horses with a stock unwelded crank( dumb I know!). I've been seeing them on ebay between $350 - $450 (long rod kits/ strokers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FadedDreams Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 You can get a stock crank rebuilt,but for the cost,your better off just getting a new one.TDR wants $300 -$350 for a stock rebuilt crank to their specs.Or you can get a new Hotrods crank for $400.

jasonsb Posted February 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Thanks for all the good responses. What I really need right now is to learn a little about long rod, stroker, and stocker cranks. What are advantages? What kind of horsepower differences? Reliability for duning? Can I still run stock carbs untill I save up and upgrade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
