"Bulletproof"

[discotech]

Can anyone school me on the crankshaft? There is probably a better one than stock, right? I don't quite know the attributes of "forged" or any other type of crankshaft. I destroyed my last one, and I don't plan on changing my driving style.

Hah, there is virtually no aftermarket for these cars. I'm not aware of any other cranks for these cars except maybe in a sho shop bored and stroked 3.6. Try calling Tom at sho shop for details.

 

[SolidState]

you destroyed the crank in a yamahammer?! holy crap...

the way I understood it, the 3.6 was cut and welded....kinda scary if you ask me.

I forget, but doesn't it damage the crank if you put too much oil in the motor? Maybe this is what happened.

On a stock motor,the only way you will ruin the crank is bad rod bearings.New ones are no longer available,and there are NO aftermarket ones.

New ones are availiable. I just bought some from Ford Parts Network. Torrie said that Ford had discontinued them then changed their mind. You can also get aftermarket bearings at NAPA.

could you guys tell me how to replace the rod bearings and how do i know if theyre spent
