New crank or get mine welded?

[FMS50]

I have decided to upgrade my crank but I dont know if I should just get mine welded or buy an aftermarket crank. I went in to a shop here in riverside and they pretty much tried to scare me out of getting my stock crank welded. They told me that because the quad is a 99 that the crank is probably junk and the splines that hold it together are probably almost gone. I am thinking that if I am goint to split the case then I should just buy a new crank to be safe but I wanted to get some opinions first. Another option would be a stroker but they told me that that plate they use to raise the cylinders is a joke. They pretty much tried to confuse me into letting them do what ever they want to my quad but it didnt work. So what do you guys think?

reguardless of what you do to rebuild your motor DONT go back to those fuks!

 

id say do what chase said minus the spacer id rather cut the head but its up to you.

You have to get the head cut...regardless. If you run a spacer plate, you can run stock pistons with a cut head. If you run 795's you don't have to run a spacer plate, but you still need the head cut...and the port timings will be way off...

 

If your budget allows...I'd go aftermarket stroker crank as well. But...if you're tight on funds, just get your stocker welded, and I'd put new bearings on it as well.

TZ or maxload for the PTO side.
