Super Jet Crankshaft bearings

[Sablabra]

Hi.

Im rebuilding my engine and need new bearings for my crankshaft and con rod bearings.

So where can i find a full set of bearings that dosent cost more and a rebuilt crank? I had no idea they where so expensive :S

Ar you rebuilding this crank yourself?

Thats right, thought i save some money by doing it myselfe, but if i dont find a good deal on some bearings, ill guess it will cost more by doing so...

That is a terrible idea. You need very specialized tools and years, if not decades of experience. Just buy an SBT crank if you want to save money.

I have the tools and experience needed to do the job, i just need a deccent deal on the bearings.

I purchased a SBT crank on my 701 build. It isn't a high performance motor but runs strong and the SBT crank was the best option for me as well.

Bearings are available from many parts suppliers but with rods etc will cost almost as much as sbt just for the parts if all your pins etc are in perfect condition.

So SBT crank is the way to go then?

So how does the SBT crank work then, if i only need a crank from them and not a whole engine. Looking at theyr page, they sell the crank on a core exchange basis.

Do i send in my old crank, and get a rebuild in return, and pay 200$ + shipping? And is there a problem that i allready have dissassambld my crank?
