[QUOTE=GTM] 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. [QUOTE=GTM]
You can get a good used crank for 100-200 dollars, trying to repair a DSM crank will cost well over that, the process of grinding, heattreating and recaoting.
[QUOTE=GTM]Can you even recommend how long and at what temp those jobs should be performed... have you ever done it? [QUOTE=GTM]
nope, and I not claiming that I know how too. What race team has a one man operation?? none, because there are certain people for each field(specialist), not 5 jack offs of all trades,
[QUOTE=GTM]Hell no because you are a parts changer. [QUOTE=GTM]
Hey now, I'm pretty good at parts changing.
[QUOTE=GTM]Pure hogwash, you have something to sell AND an ax to grind which doesn't make you especially objective. [QUOTE=GTM]
What am I trying to sell??? I just say it how I see it, in no way is everybody going like me, hell even I piss myself off sometimes.
[QUOTE=GTM]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.[QUOTE=GTM]
Congradulations on your racing history. Did you do all of this with a DSM, just kidding
[QUOTE=GTM]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. [QUOTE=GTM]
Chill Bro, I'm not out to hurt anyones feelings, or disrespect you. I get judged too, but I don't take it all to heart.
[QUOTE=GTM]I've not seen it said of you that you know more than any 5 members on this board. [QUOTE=GTM]
I have no friends.
[QUOTE=GTM]If I want to use an optical comparitor to measure a crank who the hell are you to tell me I can't.[QUOTE=GTM]
I didn't say you couldn't. I just made a statement that I would use a mic made by a good source, not Harbor Freight, and not a dial caliper, lets be real here you are measuring thousndths of a inch, not tenths.
[QUOTE=GTM]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.[QUOTE=GTM]
Just because we are arguing about something doesn't mean I have beef, just that we have differences. Just because of that doesn't mean we have to fight. I've earned the title of wiseass
, watch out for the five day forecast :eek:
Sorry that I get taken so literal, I'll just shut up from now on out.
