421alkybanshee Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 I just purchased this and wondered if anyone might know what kind of crank this is. It is a 4 mill crank, but I didnt get a chance to ask who made it when I bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicklez Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 That may be a wang crank with black lobes. How much did you pay and was it used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought it from Dan at A&S, If it was junk I dont think he would sell them. I just figured it wasnt in a hotrod box and thought I would ask. I gave 410 for it trued and weldedand it was new not used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This pretty much goes for any company. If you can make money on something, most of the time they will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
421alkybanshee Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 I will call him and ask then, I dont want to cut corners and I would figure when your spending cash they dont want you buying crap neither so I will ask his opinion.

stroking Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 well i'll tell you this i have install ALOT of cranks 4-10mil...one 16mil AND ALL of them except HOTROD CRANKS look just like that AND guess what ?? some was $400 some was $500 some was $600 and one company charged $800 BUT THEY ALL LOOKED JUST LIKE THAT ONE. i think there all the same crank some just charging more for the same thing.....rip off when you really think about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stroking Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) remember all the talk about how vito cranks were junk....well i ve seen ALL of them break welds,and seen two crack right on top of the pin even seen a billet one crack....only one that i have NOT seen any trouble from was a twister crank AND the billet ones are famous!!!! for welding the flywheel to the crank got a billet 7mill that i had to weld the flywheel puller to the flywheel to get the damn flywheel off !! if i need to buy another crank or a customer wants one im sending them to TDR because you get a crank of the same Q for a better price Edited March 4, 2012 by stroking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
