Had an interesting talk with Ken Kalina of Kalina Machine.... He was curious why I didn't want to turn my crank. I replied that I heard that the cranks are hardened and that people have had problems with them after they turn them. He claims that "to his knowledge" there were only a few cranks ever produced that were hardened, and the mitu's weren't on the list.
Are our cranks hardened or not? If so, where is the proof of this? I've got 3 blocks now that all need cranks turned, no reason to thow them out if they can still be used! -------------------- The fastest car I own is a minivan....

As Rob & I discussed, I am still running a turned crank in my stroker. I don't obviously have a lot of miles on it but so far we are up too about 1500mi not including the 300 miles on the first go-round. BTW- I di not have it re-nitirded.
We will see... -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo
