ShrpShooter Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Hey guys! Long time viewer (many years) and have owned about 10 banshees in the past. Yesterday was not a good one for me. I was just finishing up a brand new 4 mil stroker crank/dune port build from HJR that I did from the cases up, when this happened. I normally just use a nice snap on torque wrench to hit the factory spec (which I wish I did this time) but instead, this time around I had the bright idea of using a 1/2" snap on electric impact gun. The results are not pretty and I am very pissed as the engine was 95% finished and passed my leak down test. Kevin at HJR is an amazing vendor and his customer service is awesome... He offered to fix the crank for free for me after my mess up! I'm sure I will go that route but I was just wondering before I tear it down, how many of you have done this and drilled/tapped a hole in the crank to install a bolt to hold the flywheel on? I may try this before tearing it back apart. Just my luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheerider11 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 I'll say it. Ive used an impact many of times. Never would I drill a hole in shit like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okbeast Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Tear it down and fix it right especially if Kevin already offered to help. You'll regret it if you don't Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShrpShooter Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Do you use a 3/8" impact? I used a 1/2" snap on which is stronger than I thought it was. I was waiting to feel it get snug and slow down but it just kept going... Should have just used my torque wrench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShrpShooter Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 It was my fault, not the crank's. I was laying on it for a little too long with a strong impact gun, I expected it to slow up when it was getting snug so I thought it was still pressing the flywheel onto the crank but it just kept spinning. It's a HJR 4 Mil Stroker Crank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Just me. But I'd ask for a hotrods. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitbread Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 I've seen guys rattle on them with 1/2" IR TI impacts and that not happen. The threads should've pulled out of the nut before the end of the crank popping off....JMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike0chek Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) ive had one of those "4mil stroker crank"s that was not a hot rods from hjr that did not last long at all. Edited September 15, 2015 by mike0chek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
special06shee Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Thats a bummer. I also blip the fly wheel on with 1/2 impact. Never had that happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
