CoolRaptor2001 Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Iam going to have the topend rebuilt and have it bored here shortly, and the shop said they would check the crank while they had it all apart to make sure its within certain tolerances and all that. My question is, should I have it welded if the shop is able to do so? The only motor mods I got planned for the near future are pipes. And also, how much (roughly) does it cost to have the crank welded? I barely got enough money for a topend rebuild so I dont want the crank splitting shortly after getting it running again and causing more damage Someone (cant remember who) on here was telling me how there crank was begining to split with just pipes and reeds so thats why iam asking this. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKJK Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 it's kinda like birth control,you don't have to use it,but it's highly recomended.seeing it's all dissassembled allready(lower end)i would guess around 75.00 thats my semi-educated opinion.
