macrophage Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Here is a couple of pics of my knife-edged crank. I hope the performance gains are worth the $400 it cost me. http://pic19.picturetrail.com/VOL1039/1790846/9871119/149626134.jpg http://pic19.picturetrail.com/VOL1039/1790846/9871119/149626131.jpg http://pic19.picturetrail.com/VOL1039/1790846/9871119/149626129.jpg how much torque is lost with the crank like that?

juice_2 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 a speedway guy here has been knife edging these cranks for years his race engines rev to 9500 but he did say that the torque curve dropped off by about 40-50ftlb which is why i havent done one to any of my rebuilds.(yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a spare crank, that I'm thinking of going ahead and getting done so that it's ready to go, if it's needed.

macrophage Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 What about a knife edge "light" sort a speak where you just remove half of the required weight to make a knife edge crank that way you wont have to worry about no having torque at some revs. Keep a little more weight on it.

cheaterparts Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I haven't been here for a while but came across this which make our knife edge cranks look heavy http://www.jackstransmissions.com/images/product/Lcrank.jpg http://www.jackstransmissions.com/product_...25cfc1a0c8ac07d I haven't been game to try it as yet but I might carve a crank up and send down to my balancing guru these guys are doing this to a 4g63 crank I wonder what a *54 crank would weigh cheater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
