4/22/2024 6:47pm Checking the true is a step I must have missed. What could happen if it’s not true? Thanks OldTech!

Good move on the Wiseco, but i wouldn't have a problem checking out the true and running the hot rod! I'm not rich, and the internet. If you have the money "they" will say crankworks. Enjoy your bike, it looks great!

4/22/2024 5:23pm Yes, I agree, rookie mistake. I tossed out the original seized crank then purchased a Wiseco crank. At that point I started reading up on how bad they are and opted for a Hot Rods. It’s too late now but if I do another build will definitely keep the OEM crank and have it rebuilt with a Pro X rod.

You might catch a little shit on here for the Hot Rods crank, but good on you. It looks awesome and rip it!

4/22/2024 4:02pm The main issue was a seized crank. Apart from that it needed a new piston and the jug needed replated.

4/22/2024 2:40pm I’m planning to do a newer year front fender as well as number plate both in green. From there back I’m leaning towards black plastics. I’ll keep in mind the Chevy graphics to see how they flow with black.

Please please please keep the same graphics on the rebuild! Love those team Chevy trucks shrouds even if I drive a Toyota.

4/22/2024 2:21pm After tearing apart the motor, I converted a Harbor Freight sand blasting cabinet into a vapor blaster. It is powered by an Ingersoll Rand compressor pushing 16 CFM @ 60 p.s.i.
