sbt or hot rod crank whts the diff besides 300 bucks

[DezKnotz]

iam doing my own rebuild this year and i need a new crank so whats the diff between sbt or hot rod crank whts the diff besides 300 bucks

 

[WaveDemon]

sbt is rebuilt hot rods is new. I've heard bad things about the hot rods bearings and good things about the sbt bearings.

 

[the only couch rider]

cant you get an OEM one for 600?

 

[DezKnotz]

yea but if their is no real diff i would go with the sbt for 195 shipped, my biggest concern is if i build the motor any bigger like a 771 team scream wilkl it hold up

If you're going to drop the 3-4k on a motor like that, do yourself a big favor and don't skimp on the crank.
You will come to regret it in time.

Suck it up and buy a quality crank for a quality motor.

I once bought a new hotrods crank.... box said made in Taiwan....well the rod bearings had too much play in them...on the down stroke if u push on the piston it should be solid without a click indicating play....returned it and got an oem.....no click sound :veryhappy:

i found a hot rod on ebay but it say it for a 96 - 00. i thought that all 62t cranks would be the same

They are the same for the 650/701/760 from 1980-2009.

[oxnard111]

Dangerboy removed my coupler off my crank using a tool that fit inside the contours of the stock engine side coupler, while the tool plugged into a pneumatic impact gun. spun that sucker right off.

thanks bro i just picked it up

SBT crank with OEM rod/needle bearings. I ran this setup on a Flat top 780cc that ripped, with no problems. The rods actually appeared a little beffier then oem.

I think the guy who use to run crankworks builds the cranks for SBT now if I remember correctly.

I have heard good and bad about Hot rods.

I will stick with the SBT and OEM rod bearings because It has worked for me, and I realy have not heard of any issues.

buy from Atlantic jet sports they are the least expensive for what you are looking for the total engine rebuild is the best bang for your buck.

My SBT Crank is holding up great. They have really improved their quality. Haven't heard anything bad about a SBT motor in years.
