914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Scat vs Stock/OEM Crankshaft

Posted by: gla914#27 Jun 26 2014, 02:00 PM

Am rebuilding my 2.0 race engine after a major failure
The existing crank is a Scat......stock stroke......which cannot be reused due to un-repairable damage to the flywheel end
Am wondering if I should go again with the Scat with stock stroke or use one of my spare OEM stock crankshaft???????

So what is the difference in the two?

Scat is forged in china, they hit it with a hammer a couple of times and call it forged.
OE cranks are hammered many times right to the rough shape, they are a way higher quality forging.
