Broke Crank at #4 journal

[ScreaminDuramax]

Got word back from PPE today, I broke my crank. Block checked out fine.

Should I get a new one or used?

Help me out!

Nope, bone stock motor.

New crank. Even better a new LB7 crank.


BTW, welcome to the club.

I went with a used LBZ crank and had it mag tested. Been there done that with a new LB7. Broke after 4500 miles

Now that sucks.

BTW, I love your motor set up. Pretty close to perfect.:hug:

Post pics of crank, never heard of #4 journal breaking only the common #1 and #5.

I have a piece of a crank that broke at the #4 journal on my counter.

The first crank I broke was at the #4.

These threads make me half sick still. If mine breaks again, gas and a lighter
