tjames38785 Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Is this something I can do my self (have a mig) or does the crank need to be blanaced after welding? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 The phase of the crank needs to be checked and corrected before welding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SICK BOY Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 You can get this done at well known shops for $50.00-$75.00 for that kind of money it's not even worth trying to do,and finding out you ruined your crank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BdBanshee Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Is this something I can do my self (have a mig) or does the crank need to be blanaced after welding? Thanks All the cranks I have had done are welded with a TIG. Reason is with a TIG you don't have to add any material, crank stays balanced.

Thanks All the cranks I have had done are welded with a TIG. Reason is with a TIG you don't have to add any material, crank stays balanced. Hmm makes sense... Is there enough material to fuse it and have it be strong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigairee Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 If the motor was running fine before disassembly would you still need to check the phase. I currently have mine out but don't have anyone locally who can check it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lepew Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 If you have it out, have it trued and welded by a good machine shop. If you don't have it out don't worry about it til 45+HP. It isn't sometime you should try at home with a straight edge and mig welder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BdBanshee Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Yes, before you have it welded get it checked/trued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
