mike0chek Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 almost positive ill be getting a hot rods this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phelps Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 i have 3 more sitting here with either a bent rod or its snapped.....all happened when the motor was at low rpms bent one a few days ago when the motor back fired i was told these (builders)/(companys)..i know of 3 that sells them) are buying these cranks for $150 and reselling them for $400-$700 based on WHO you buy them from. IMO if you get one with 29L/R on the rod SEND IT BACK!!!!....and if you already have it in your motor take it out and send it to crankworks an have them install the grey HOTROD rods on it. please tell me you only sat that piston on the cases for the pic and that's not how it came apart. clearly that piston is backwards lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

do-work-son Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 So the cranks that herr juggs sells in his four mil kits are these Chinese knock off crank or are they hot rods ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03crawldaddy Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 What about cranks from TDR? Only reason I ask is cause they are local and I'm tryin to get started on a 4 mil build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stroking Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 So the cranks that herr juggs sells in his four mil kits are these Chinese knock off crank or are they hot rods ? HOT ROD cranks are grey in color...(rods and web) if there black and bronze .... well ?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopar1rules Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Herr jugs does sell the chinese knock off crank as well as the hot rods. I bought my chinese toilet crank 2yrs ago from herr jugs, before they were found out to be garbage. At that time I was told it was a USA made crank. Bullshit!! I never used this crank yet either. Right now its in another case for mockup purposes only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Hot Rod cranks also have the red aluminum spacer in the middle. Most other cranks have an aluminum gray one or a black one. Also Hot Rods cranks have Hot Rods conecting rods. It should say on the side of the rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
