oh and btw what all have u done to ur crank? i was looking through ape and i think lightening and ballencing sounds like it would make a big difference

well, on my billet cranks I've had him do lots of things such as inspection and detailing. I've had him inspect and micro-polish journals, Check cranks for twist, grind base circle of counter weights, plasma-nitride coat, smooth the leading and trailing edge of the counter weights, dynamic balance the crank, and a few other things as well.

On an OE crank you might be better off just buying a new crank. If it's a Gen1 crank you, can get them very cheap brand new. Would probably end up costing around the same.

where a good place to look for new crank? its not really damaged much but it had a nic on one of the side of journals and do u know if or where anyone sales lightened and balanced cranks?

unless you race there's no benefit to the costs for a lightened crank. There not common enough to be considered an "off the shelf" item so you would have to have your crank machined and balanced if that's what you want. I know Orient express was selling new Gen1 cranks at a good price but I'm sure there are other vendors as well.

WE have new race balanced Gen 2 cranks with spacer to stroke your gen 1 motor.

We keep these in stock.

I was surprised by the "pricey" comment. For lightened and balanced cranks, we are almost 1/2 the price of the competition.
