I bought his junk and now am out a crank. He sold it stating std/std it came in std/.010 mains and all the mains where heat cracked so deep the race crank grinder turned it to check it and it would not clean up. He gave me back crank after test grinding it and said its "JUNK". I also won the Paypal decision that he miss represented the crank. I should of sent junk back.

WARNING he is not a honest seller. I could see the heat cracks by my old bad eyes as soon as I pulled it from shipping box. I have pics of everything and all copies of Emails back and forth of how rude he was. He just wanted to dump his trash on another person.

OH disregard all above! I have a nice used 3.750 crank for sale. Just a polish and it will be good as new. (joke)

Before I even bought kit I purposely ask him about the crank.

Dear 2manyfastbuicks4me,

Hi Ken, I was wondering if I could get any more info on this kit? Was it your engine? How many miles ran,was it boosted or NOS hit? Why was it taken apart? I really want this. On the crank you say polish then could use a .010/.010 turn? I hope I don't come off like noob just like info. Thanks for your time. Frank

I do infact see the hairline cracks..

Im kinda noobish to builds, but can you not grind the crank down to. 20 and use thicker bearings? Or is the hairline crack enough to make it scrap worthy?
 
#17 ·
Oh....thats no bueno..did he attempt to grind it down? I believe that make bearings as big as. 40? So if you could grind past the cracks it could be usable?

buyer beware im dealin with same anytime you get used parts there as a high potential theirs a problem why would they sell them just sayin

ThThis thread is a mess..lol. how much did the new crank cost? Kenny96gt at least owes you the cost of the new crank. Nuff said, end of discussion.
