1) Is the crank in any of the KA motors forged??

2) What is the crank capable of handling before it brakes??

I searched and couldnt find anything. Thanks for any input!!

Well, it's not a KA, but the Jun's Hyper Lemon that was in scc a year or so ago is close. OMG what a nasty ride, love how good of a rap the article gave silvias/240's.

So... the KA24DE has a forged crank? I just need to be 100% clear on that before I dive in....

Yes it does.

It's extremely overbuilt...which is a good thing :)
