mopar1rules Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 And I said just before that I have used some Taiwan stuff for sled applications and it worked fine. Yes not all Taiwan stuff is garbage!! But the 29L/R rods are!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 So let me get this straight... It's OK for Wiseco to sell a wrist pin made in Taiwan that doesnt fit... But it's NOT OK for a builder to sell a crank with a rod from Taiwan that might break? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopar1rules Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 I NEVER EVER said it was ok for Wiseco to sell a Taiwan wristpin. Hence my reason to rant about the problem on here to alarm others and have them pay attention to their assembly, for a incorrect wristpin length. What made you think I said it was ok for Wiseco to sell Taiwanese wristpins? I have no problems with the Japanese rings that came with the pistons. Heck I would have had no issues with the Taiwanese wristpin, had the length been right. But I had to perform a lathe operation that should not have needed to be done on my end. The manufacturer should have had it right the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So Cal Suspension Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 FYI Snap on has opened it's largest factory in their company history in China... Those Snap-On/Bluepoint tools are rarely American made, and haven't been for quite a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#1JUANstunna Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 If ya but blue point ya might as well buy craftsmen Hmmmmm........... I thought Blue Point and Snap-on were one in the same. Blue Point was just a little cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some old blue point stuff that great stuff anything newer ait worth crap IMO .. I have a blue point scrapper with the same patten number as a craftsmen one just a different color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runflat Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Shit, i use f'n harbor freight wrenches, and have a harbor freight tool box, shit works fine....if you're snapping sockets...it's probably to tight.. i can't think of any time i've broken a socket working on a banshee, or any ATV for that matter...i have some cornwell tools i bought when i was younger working on transmissions but for the most part, most of my tools are craftsman and junk from harbor freight... they don't give me to much of a fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooker82 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I've split a number of craftsman sockets and SK sockets. And a bunch of craftsman ratchets. I've never broke a snap-on or matco socket before. There is a difference. At any rate it was just an example, but carry on...... Yep and why do you think the Craftsman ratches have short handles, and coars teeth. So when you put a cheater on it the warrenty is void and they dont have to replace it. Nothing like haveing a junk ratchet that you have to move 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn just to get it to ratchet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another note i've also watched someone put a wrench in a vice and cut it in half cause the box wrench was too long.......he took it back to sears and the guy said "this didn't break.....it was cut".....buddies dad looked at the guy and said "customers always right.....your shitty wrench broke and busted my knuckles" (he had slipped ealier and given himself a kinuckle buster) dude wanted to argue more but just handed over a new box wrench....

2strokespirit Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) I assemble a lot of motors monthly... I have got at least like 4+ to long wrist pins from Wiseco... Then yet again, I just said this on another forum, I have had Wossner piston with to long wrist pins also, there is the same thread on CR500 forum about wossner pistons... They are made in GERMANY.... This taiwan threads are getting bored.... If a Ford fails do you say Americans suck? If a BMW fails do German cars suck? If toyota engine fail 1 out of 1000 does Japan suck? I am just trying to make a point... Edited June 27, 2012 by 2strokespirit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
