GTM thanks for the 2cents, maybe I'll spend it someday
I have yet to remotely see anything that impresses me that you wish to contribute except provocation. This seems to prevail not only in this thread but in other areas of this board where you have been flip and insulting with other members. In this thread your offer was for the poster to buy a new crank without batting an eyelash. The only other mention was nitriding yet never mentioned this can be done if he elects to grind the crank. It was a freebie spare engine and you would have everyone that reads this thread believe that his _only_ choices are to spend great sums of money for something that may collect dust for the next x years. There are several methods of repairing the crank and heat treating it including carborizing. Can you even recommend how long and at what temp those jobs should be performed... have you ever done it? Hell no because you are a parts changer.

Pure hogwash, you have something to sell AND an ax to grind which doesn't make you especially objective. Before you were born I was building engines, my engines have been to Daytona USRRC twice and came in 2nd both times, they have been to Laguna Seca, Las Vegas, Ontario, if those names mean anything.

Here is another 2¢, either respect the opinions of others around here, couch your arguments in a civil manner or become a persona non grata and keep the snot nose ego which nobody likes. I known my share of bull sh*t artists who blow smoke when they don't know squat, don't tell me I can't post in any forum on this board including those you don't even know exist. I've not seen it said of you that you know more than any 5 members on this board. If I want to use an optical comparitor to measure a crank who the hell are you to tell me I can't.

You have a beef with me take it to the list owner, you think I've not paid my dues or not earned the title of Wiseman read my other posts but don't pee on my pants and tell me it's raining.

GTM
