having a little issue...
That crank wasn't broken from cross drilling it.
It was broken due to builder error and or ??
skin yer cat how even you deem fit but know it ain't the final word on this.
.org guys are the most ''my way or the highway'' guys out there, you all seem to do sht the same too.
Not a bash, just an observation.
I never said it broke from cross drilling. I just made the observation that slant cranks do break, after you made the observation (I thought) that since they are 85 lbs, cross drilling will not weaken it.
That engine was in a 3700 lb street driver truck that runs mid 11's in the 1/4 mile.
As far as "my way or the hiway", anything I post is my "opinion". I am posting what I have done, or what others have done, that I know works. Nothing I post is to be taken as "gospell". It is suggestions. Do your own research. Consider everything, trust nothing.
The reason many slanters do the same thing, is that it works. We take advantage of the research of others.
Many years ago (about 30+) I had problems with failed rod bearings, in my slant race car. I went to full groove main bearings and some minor oil galley mods, and have never had a bearing failure since. Inexpensive, simple, effective. That is why most slanters use full groove mains.
Not trying to start a pi$$ing match, here. Just explaining my thinking/motives. I make suggestions, sometimes with the reasoning, and you can use them or not. Many times myself or others have already "been there, done that", and we pass on our experiance.
