Default crank

I never thought trying to find a standard sized straight crank would be so hard

But we're on cars I'll take them off and ring you back then its sorry I'm doing it tomorrow I'll take your number again then no reply lol

Ive never had a problem with nyb but a crank seems to be like rocking horse sh#te. I would take a complete bottomend as long it doesnt need bored and cranks standard and not twisted. I have messagef opplinger but im wary with overseas buys

For having bits on the shelf ready to go I dont think you can beat him! I'm after a block as well not bothered on bore condition as I'll be having liners fitted he only wants 650 for a good one
It states your welcome to go over there aswell so can even be a weekend away lol

Try gary rscosworth breakers in southampton..he has literally loads on the shelf and theyre all tagged and checked..

Also a 10/10 (0.25)grind really isnt a problem for high power..infact a properly ground .25 crank is better than an unground std std crank thats 20 years old
