Ade Ray Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 I need a cast iron crankshaft for a crossflow (711-AE)but it must be in top nick The dream team spec: Standard size for cap and pin journals Double dowelled With bearing in and in working order No rust Not out of a damaged engine ( ie from a car that has gone to steel internals) tuftrided and lapped I will pay good money for one such as this I would also be interested in cranks that are one size under and not double dowelled at the appropriate price but I need the other specs. Hope you can help Ade Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter T Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Are you looking for standard throw of 77.6 ? C7 PWT Pure Steel XE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ade Ray Posted June 25, 2003 Author Share Posted June 25, 2003 Hi Steve No, I,ve not spoken to Rory. If I do not get myself sorted via this route then I will speak to Simon and perhaps ask him to have a word. Hi Peter I believe that I am. When Mr King upgraded Simon's 1600 XFlow to it's current spec, there were no changes to the crank other than double dowling and tuftriding. This is according to the notes that came back with Simon's engine. Ade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dt Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 I have a new tuftrided crank ready to go.. not double dowelled though.. this is very very easy as the hole is there I think.. The last price on Ford cranks from Burtons was about 400 squid! david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ade Ray Posted June 26, 2003 Author Share Posted June 26, 2003 Hi dt Has the crank been lapped yet? I only ask from bitter experience as one of the cranks that I acquired had been tuftrided and then left resulting in rust forming under the tuftriding due to the salts in the process and thereby rendering the crank unusable. You are right, new cranks from Burton are expensive which is why I am trying the second hand route. What price do you want for yours? Email if you like for privacy.
