Tim72 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 According to Joe mondello the crank journals were heat treated to .001 from the factory. Can I take .010 off with out heat treat and be safe at around 500hp? The rest of the motor will be machined and balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoney Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 If you machine the crank the heat treating is lost, as it only treats the surface out of neccesity. If the entire depth was treated the steel would become brittle. At 500 horse take no chances. Good luck, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
