Signs Your Bottom End Needs Work

• Knocking or rattling that gets louder with rpm
• Excess vibration through the frame and bars
• Low oil pressure or metal flakes in the oil or filter
• Side-to-side or up-and-down play at the connecting rod
• Oil leaks at the crank seals

How to Choose

• Rods included or not? Complete assemblies and OE kits come with a Hot Rods rod. “Without rods” and OEM replacement cranks need rods sold separately.
• Plan for bearings and seals. Many cranks ship without main bearings and seals. Add a Hot Rods main bearing and seal kit.
• Stock or stroker? These are stock-stroke replacements. Hot Rods stroker cranks add stroke but may require head or piston changes.
• Do the whole job. Replace gaskets, check the cylinder and piston, and inspect the cam chain while the engine is apart.

Installation Tips

1. Follow your service manual and split the cases carefully.
2. Clean and inspect the cases, bearing bores and oil passages.
3. Install new main bearings and seals (if not included, use a Hot Rods kit).
4. Install the crankshaft and check end play and runout to spec.
5. Use new gaskets, torque every fastener to spec, and lubricate with assembly lube.
6. Break in the engine per the manufacturer’s recommendations and change the oil early.

Crankshaft installation requires splitting the engine cases. Have a qualified engine builder do the job if you’re not experienced.
