<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A good used crank properly race prepared, deep case
nitrided and ground with the proper radii on the journals, is very reliable at
power outputs of up to 165 hp as long as the revs are kept below 6800 rpm. The
weak link in bottom end is the connecting rod. For use over 6,000 rpm they need
to be replaced with steel billet rods. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>FOT:</DIV>
<DIV>Thank to the many of you who gave me good advice on pistions after I
discovered that I had burned holes in two of them in my TR-4A at the Wine
Country Classic. </DIV>
<DIV>Now as we are rebuilding it was discovered that the crank is cracked and
must also be replaced. I am told the options are a used one reground or
a new off the shelf billet crank. Thougths and advice.</DIV>
<DIV>Hope everyone at the Glen had a good time.</DIV>
