biodave27 Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 I recently bought a used wiseco hot rods crank that is supposed to have new bearings, but they don't seem to spin as freely as my oem crank bearings. Does this sound right? The bearings look new, but they just don't seem to spin quite as well and I wasnt sure if this is because my stock ones were worn out or what. Quote
bbluebanshee Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 Do they still spin freely. Most of the time with a bad bearing..you can hear it. They will clunk a bit, or not spin at all. Are the bearings in te hot rods crank freshly oiled. This will slow down the free spinning of the bearings. Quote
biodave27 Posted September 19, 2005 Author Report Posted September 19, 2005 They spin freely but not as freely as my stock ones, I can spin the stockers and they will rotate 5 or 6 times opposed to the hot rods 3 or 4. I don't think they have been oiled very recently so that my be my problem. Quote
XxMeltIcexX Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 I recently got a hot rods crank.. the bearigns were rough on one side opposed to the other.. i sent it back and they sent me a brand new one!! they said it was bad.. Glad i didnt put it in... Eric Quote
AllMotor347 Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 As long as the new crank still spins freely your good because a set of worn in bearings (your used ones) will spin more than a new set of bearings Quote
