SAVAGE420 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 TSS, Twister, Hot rods and Vitos. Can go 7mil and not trench, at 10mil you trench. Port it for sure, no point in cheaping out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtbike drew Posted October 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Ok thanks but can u guys give me the good of the cranks and the bad. And if I put a +7mm stroke in I don't have to trench the cases. Unilt I go to a +10mm. Someone else said I have to trench when I go to a 7mm stroke and up. But I'm looking maybe going with a +4 or +5 or a +7 stroke but if I do any of these do I HAVE to get my cylinders ported ? If I do I may just go with a stock stroke so I'm just looking to see what needs to be done but I need a good NAME BRAND CRANK. That have the best main bearings. But I'm not spending over $500 on a crank because I just had this project running good and my rod broke and tore up my right cylinder and piston. That was all brand new. But the crank. (stock). So I need a new right cylinder and piston .020 over to match the new left I have but I may have to buy a set of use cylinders. I hope with good pistons std bore. To .020. And a good crank so I'm going to have some cash in it that's y I want to stay under $500 on a good crank. Please let me know more about the good name cranks. Thanks all.

Some cases will run a 5 mil stroker without trenching, and some will not. Luck of the draw on that one. All 4 mil strokers that I have ever done were without trenching......... If you do a 7 you will for sure have to trench..........................Hope this helps out.................. The info in posts above is incorrect for sure............

EvilBanshee Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Where do ya live?? i have a used Hot Rods. Cheap Nothing wrong with it. I just went stroker. Vito's also makes a excellent Crank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtbike drew Posted October 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Where do ya live?? i have a used Hot Rods. Cheap Nothing wrong with it. I just went stroker. Vito's also makes a excellent Crank. I'm in Rochester mi 48306. I'm not sure if I want to go used or not but maybe if the price is right if not its almost worth paying a little more for a new one. So it will also get the new bearings since the inter bearings can't be replaced. But how much and how many hours. I'll try to pm u if u don't see this reply. But what about wiseco ? Any good ? And will other brand rods fit on other brand cranks or do u have to use that brand of the crank. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcardracing Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 If you're doing a 4mil or smaller and have the choice of Wiseco, Vito's or Hotrods....Hotrods would be my first choice. TDR offers a pretty decent forged crank for your 7-10mil applications, if you're looking at billet I prefer Crankworks over Twister personally. -Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure wiesco is decent. Depends how much power your putting to it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtbike drew Posted October 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Ok thanks I'm thinking if I do a stroker the biggest I'll go for now is 4mm. I was just looking at vitos. Stock and 4mm. If I was to do 4mm do I have to do get the ports done. Or I see they have a bottom spacer for the base. Can I go that way . I'm looking for it to be reliable for up in the trail. I'm still not satisfied on what's a better crank out of vitos , hot rods , wiseco. I'm looking to get one soon when I figger this out. Thanks.
