I am very upset. Seems the company I chose to order my crank from sent a two piece rear main seal instead of a one piece rear main seal crank!
O'well, they have to pay for the shipping of the new one, and for the return shipment of the wrong crank!
Idiots!!!!!!!!!

 

that stinks.hope it is a reputable co.

 

I hope so too. They said the website was wrong or something and the receipt they sent me was for a 2-piece seal but my invoice clearly states 1-piece? O'well, I'll wait a week for the new one or I will have my credit card company suck the credit back out of their account!

 

what brand crank are you getting?

 

China!

 

that's a brand? or is that a country? lets use our heads here

 

It doesn't matter who makes it as long as it is balanced with a full rotaiting assembly.

 

did you really just say it doesn't matter who makes the crank? you obviously have not done much research on stroker motors...or engines for that matter.

good luck with your build...you will need it

 

Well my machine shop will check tolerances. I know enough to stay away from cast stuff and to have it assemble properly. The two piece is a real nice crank. My stock crank is nodular iron that GM used in their performance engines. I was just out oiling it. It does not have chamfered oil holes. The technology now is a lot more advanced even in China. I would like a LS9 crank but can't afford it right now.

 

ls9? as in LSx series? that won't even fit in our engines.

and your crank in your engine is the exact same crank found in every LT1...i think you need to do some more research
