Title: crank shaft work
Post by: speedbump on September 10, 2016, 09:24:01 AM

hi guys, I'm trying to find a crankshaft shop in or around the conn. area to have my shaft off set ground and cut. i have it with someone now but he had it for over a year and hasn't worked on it yet. i really need to find some one else that i can rely on. tired of waiting. thanks mike

I use a real good crank shop, Marine Crankshaft, 714-549-2388, that most of the racers use in many states. Most of the time I get it back in a week. Ya it's not in Conn, but if you don't find a good shop, you could just ship it to SoCal. I know they can do what you want, one of our JrFuel racers had them off-set grind a crank. A lot of well known race engine shops use them.

ask other racers in your area who they use, if your guy hasn't done it in a year has no interest in doing it or doesn't know how. the guy I use index and cuts another groove and strokes it  and you get it back with in a week  and even does welded strokers on weird stuff from John Deere to rice burner

Contact Nick @ Shafttec in Fostoria, Ohio. They are a full service Crank Shaft ONLY shop. They do Callies Crank repair work. I have had shafts done there for sometime now. A little pricey, but they do a first class job and You wont wait a Yr.

Mike – I agree with alkyal, one year and still waiting, that’s unpleasant and uncommon punishment.  Maybe call Matt "Frontenginedragsters” on here for a lead.  Glenn would have his business number.  He’s near your area plus has established engine machine business and probably knows reputable answer to your question.

Further away, I have two Moldex crankshafts, a stroked Ford V8 flathead and a stroked GM.  Moldex is located in Michigan and Joe there was quick in completing my requests six years ago.  Shipping back then added $75.  Based on my experience I would recommend them; here’s link to their services.  Alan
