Oh dear God! 318 stroker

Since we're all on the topic here, I hear that there have been some failures with the Eagle cast internal balance 4 inch crank. Does anyone know if these cast eagle 3.58 inch cranks have similar problems?

I'd be running a set of 273/318 stock alloy full float rods and the .060 over Zollner pistons (355 CID) I had referrenced earlier with the skirts trimmed for crank clearance and a pair of valve reliefs cut. Re-worked 974 heads with 2.02 1.60, 4 angle and bowl cleanup and gasket matched to 1243 Felpro intake gaskets and port matched Weiand 7545 Xcellerator.

239/251 288/304 106 LSA 105/107 icl/exl and .335/.335 lobe lift, RPM limit of 6500.

I'm thinking the pin overlap might be adding to the Eagle crank failures. A good many of the failures are from people with engines far beyond any cast crank usage, like really high RPM or boosted applications (nitrous/etc.). Your lightweight skinny rods will help and the low RPM ceiling.

When they let go, it ain't pretty! That one lasted a good while under extreme use, but I bet Gary would have eventually broken a SCAT cast steel unit. I bet you'll be OK with the shorter 3.58" stroke, I hope so anyway. I just bought a crank like that from Eagle's Ebay store, a blem unit. LOL
