I asked this in the NA forum...but I figure you guys break more chit then anyone else...so...

I have an ITR crank that is out of a motor that dropped a valve. chewed up a couple of pistons pretty bad....hole in one piston. Now, I need a crank.

The crank has no damage to the journals...no visable damage at all...

How strong are Honda cranks? Mainly, an ITR crank?

anyone know of any shops near Seattle, WA to get the crank X-rayed?

 

I would say if it didnt smash a bearing the crank should be fine..just have a machine shop check it to be sure.

mine (type R) has seem over 70 11,000 rpm runs at over 800 whp..

 

And is there any difference in strengh between B16A and ITR crank?

 

I bought a c5 motor that had also dropped a valve. I sent the block and crank to Benson and had the crank balanced and micropolished. It checked out OK.

ITR = 87mm stroke and counterweighted for balance.
b16 = 77mm stroke and not balanced but its such a small crank stroke, you really wouldn't need to have it balanced.


Thanks for the replies guys.

 

yeah I know that but I asked about how stron is B18C crank and how strong is B16a crang ? :D
