crank ?

[sean]

i have a crank with the numbers 10055480. i was wondering if this is good crank to use? or just trow it away and buy a nitroed one. what are the casting numbers on the ty or sy crank?

Re: crank ?

there are several casting numbers that came in syty cranks but it basically boils down to the fact that all of them are the same. I wouldnt waste my time nitriting the crank go with a cryo treat it you must it does the entire crank not just the surface.

Re: crank ?

the crank came out of a 88 blazer with code z

Re: crank ?

if it came from an 88 blazer you will want to check and see which plant it was made at. either romulus or tonanwanda. and check to see if it was a lightweight crank or HD. either one will work fine for the under 500hp stuff. I get my cryo done by a place in S flordia. they are easy to deal with and good on price. pm me for details.

Re: crank ?

look at the counter weights and see if they have been gun drilled to lighten them up.

How do you gun drill counter weights? I can see gun drilling the throws but gun drilling the counter weights makes no sense.
