Hey guys, so i recently rebuilt my 2001 cr 250. I rebuilt the bottom end with a hots rods rod kit(rod, bearing and the pin in between the weights). Ideally i wanted an oem crank, but could not find a brand new one, so i went with the rod kit. Anyway, my question is, did i make a mistake by going with the hot rods kit? Yes, the crank was balanced and i installed oem main bearings, but i have heard horror stories of these rods snapping and taking out cases. What do u guys think ?
Did you consider having your stocks crank rebuilt by one of the shops (crankworks etc?)
Another option is finding a used but serviceable crank and sending it off for rebuild.
