zach45 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 Anyone. Joey and I have discussed this before and I'm extreamly courious about the quality of these"Wang" cranks Quote
n2otoofast4u Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 A crank is only as good as the person assembling it!! You can have a perfect billet set of wheels with perfect pins, and tolerances, but if the guy putting it together doesnt know/care to assemble it and weld it properly as well as use QUALITY bearings you are still going to end up with a pile of shit..

camatv Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 i know hjr isnt casting his own cranks. thats just where this thread was heading.. i'm just tired of these being sold through vendors as "their" own crank. sometimes i get super budget builds needed and to stay in the budget i have to use one of denny's cranks. they are ok i havent had one in a motor for more than 2 years i personally will only use TDR and hotrods cranks in builds that matter. i dont do stuff over 10 mill so i dont use billet shit cranks and never will. i have had to turn a few away from lack of funds. if the webbs are black and the rods are brass colored and NOT shot peened or even polished its a wang crank. i dont know where the wsm or PG branded cranks come from but the couple that have drifted through here the rods seemed really thin in the middle. wangs cranks have been close on tolerance on the side to side measurement sometimes ZBUT never as bad as the wiseco crap cranks. i have had to grind welds out of hot rod cranks in the past to retrue them as well.. if you use quality parts and GOOD bearings and good rods and assemble it right it will be a good crank.. what else is there to wonder about?

zach45 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Posted January 8, 2012 "if you use quality parts and GOOD bearings and good rods and assemble it right it will be a good crank.. what else is there to wonder about? " no reason to get defensive here. as i said before, joey and I were talking about these cranks few weeks back. it also came up from a buddy that there were some people who has these crank all out of wack, without much run time... yea great on paper Good bearings and Good rods will hold up fine, but the question is how do THESE rods and THESE bearings hold up...

zach45 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 This topic died fairly quick... Anyone pull one of these cranks out and spec em?? Quote
252wheelieking Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 This topic died fairly quick... Anyone pull one of these cranks out and spec em?? I also want to know what's up with these cranks. I'm leaning more towards a 4mil Hot Rods crank for my cub build because it's a proved fact that they are top notch quality. On another note if I had more good info on these "WANG" cranks I will try one of these. So I would like to know more about these cranks compared to a Hot Rods crank. Quote
wacko2000 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 You'll never catch a wang crank in my bike thats for sure... Joe Quote
zach45 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 ^holla.. but everyone was on the bandwagon of these are great... now no one has anything to say... Quote
sprinklerman Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 .............. i guess everyone jumped off the " Wang Wagon"? haha Quote
SandmanPNW Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 You'll never catch a wang crank in my bike thats for sure... Joe Not gonna catch a wang crank in my bottom end either Quote
jrmarquez.702 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 My buddy has a crank he got from partsdepo on eBay, I'm pretty sure it's a "Wang" crank. It's a 4mil stock cylinder drag ported. IMHO, it's pretty quick and we rev it to the moon. It's been up the hill a good 40+ runs and is still holding up. Quote
