I have had my block back from the machine shop for a while now and I droped the crankshaft off to be Checked for damage, balanced, Hot tanked, magnafluxed & micro-polished and the NIMROD that had the car prior to me had spun a bearing ...... the block was fine but the crank did not make it....

Now do i buy a motor from a junk yard?

or

Does anyone make a forged or aftermarket crankshaft

At this point i have 4 times what i paid for the whole car in the motor

I know clevite goes to 20 over, and I have a feeling I saw 30 as well.

Nobody makes a forged aftermarket crank. However, stock is forged from the factory and way overbuilt.

Oddly enough, I have a BRAND NEW OEM crank still in the nissan bag.. maybe even the nissan box bottom.Let me know at [email protected] if you need it.-Jeff
