afireblade929 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I want to install my hot rods stroker crank, but I'm not sure if one of the crank bearings is right. I know that hot rods uses o-rings instead of set pins like on the oem crank bearings, but the pto main bearing doesnt use a o ring and hot rods says its suppose to have a set pin (actually a ball on the bearing) but i dont see anything on that main bearing; its completely smooth, except for the notch for the c clip! Hot rod says "The PTO main bearing has a small set pin (actually a ball) that must be located in the proper location in the cases. Failure to locate this pin will force the bearing out of round when the cases are clamped." Do you think they put the wrong bearing for that side? Anyone have any experience on installing these cranks? Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Did you buy the crank bran new? Maybe somebody put on a Max load bearing or TZ bearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so, i bought the crank new. Max load bearings don't have set pins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
