So Cal Suspension Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 In my opinion, I think the key to having these cranks last is to have them professionally installed. I think the novice builders are missing things and ruining the cranks themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike0chek Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 so donkey's can install hot rods but pro's have to install 29LR's?? that sounds logical..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberneck Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 so donkey's can install hot rods but pro's have to install 29LR's?? that sounds logical..... Maybe a baboon, but i dont think a donkey could install a crank. How would they hold on to the wrenches without fingers? Im not an expert, but i just dont see how it would work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbobobby Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 bummer dude, are your bottom cases trashed? the cases are repairable. not to much damage to them....it's my wampus cylinders that I am concerned about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stroking Posted June 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) funny how nobody who had a pro install them has had any problems. they bend and break billet and hotrod cranks,so i doubt there doing any better..they just dont tell you!! i have replaced rods,retrued,reweld,and installed over 200 cranks in banshees and even more counting 4strokes and dirt bikes and i have never seen cranks snapp rods like the 29l/r i know all about these engines...big and small maybe you should go take a look in the back of a PROSHOP and see how many damaged cranks are laying around Edited June 29, 2012 by stroking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locogato11283 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 i feel your pain man, cost me 400 to fix my cub head, and that was a good deal apparently lol If you paid $400 to fix a Cub head, you're even dumber than I had imagined, considering you can buy a brand new head and domes for like $225.

locogato11283 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 There's a big difference between the cylinders and the head. You said "i feel your pain man, cost me 400 to fix my cub head." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
