I am looking for a good 2.0L stock crank (71mm).
It is for my race engine, so I would rather have forged than billet (like the SCAT product). Who has used a AA forged crank? Any issues? Do we know if these are brand new or reconditioned to be "new"? Anything to worry about or better options? https://aapistons.com/products/counterweigh...qxoCrTYQAvD_BwE |

My crank is a welded Raby/DPR 78.4mm with type 1 rod journals. Back several years ago Jake stopped using DPR due to quality issues, mostly because they used some in his mind questionable cores. The core you send in to them will not be the same core you get back. Would I still use them over a new china crank? Likely, but I'd carefully inspect the crank or pay a shop to do this. |
