I like the mention of a door stop in your add. I do like to add a bit of a personal touch to my descriptions

Hi Hopefully you could answer a question for me The hotrods crank says it uses rubber o rings on the main bearings Obviously there isn't an o ring on the RH bearing as the half clip sits in there There is no locating pin so what do you recommend. Bearing lock or just fit as is Steve I dont like any type of bearing fit/ lock on split type cases. I recommend you just fit it as it is and let the O-rings keep the bearings in place.

Thanks for the response 👍 I totally get that you wouldn't want any "shimming" It's just that there is no o ring on bearing behind the primary and no pin Are you saying just fit it without anything? Cheers Steve

yep, O rings hold the bearings perfectly in place and don't spin, they will only spin if you sieze the crank, even with pins that will happen and then tear the crap out of your crank cases, with the O rings, it just trashes the O rings !

Paul, you are right, the stock crank isn't welded, its just the stroker cranks are, probably thought they where as I mainly use/fit stroker cranks !

So intrigued have I been by this thread that I've ordered a hotrods crank from Dave to put in an engine rebuild I've got sitting around waiting to be done.
I thought it was only cats that suffered with curiosity.....
