A couple of people from Crower have told me Marine Crankshaft is the place to go for repairs...... That should tell you something.

 

I was hoping that you would speak up, as you seem to have some good info about Crower and So Cal in general. I sent them an email asking about their process and price structure and have not heard back from them. I feel if I can repair for about half the price of new, then I will do it.

 

Mile high crankshaft, Denver Colorado, Dave Olsen [303] 781-6764.

 

The best.

 

Marine crankshaft welded up the crank for my 225 promax on my Allison that had wiped out one of the rod journals. After reassembly It lasted one day on the water before seizing ...on that throw... and sent the rod through the block. I wont have another cast crank welded by them or anyone else. It looked nice.

 

I would not have a CAST CRANK welded by anyone either.

 

I'm in southern FL and know several racers and a couple machine shops from here that will only use Marine Crankshafts for repair work. - All say it's worth the freight and wait time to use them.

 

They did well for me. Replaced a thrust flange on a Callies crank. Excellent work.

 

Marine crankshaft is second to none.

 

have had a Bryant LSX crank repaired by them, it was perfect after and could not tell any previous damage was done

 

I had great results with Marine crankshaft repairing a Bryant crank for me. For what it's worth, Bryant was the one that sent me to Marine to have it repaired. I know they do a ton of the funny car and top fuel repairs as well.

 

Re: recent experience . . . . . . . Marine Crankshaft is the best there is for crank repairs.

 

Marine Crankshaft has repaired a couple of Crower and Velasco billets for us over the past 10yrs. Top notch work, so nice you couldn't even tell they had been welded.
Will

 

Marine Crankshaft for sure X5!

 

Crankshaft Supply in MPls MN or Performance Crankshaft in MI.

 

Marine Crank or Mile High. Both do excellent work on race cranks.

 

Shaftech in Ohio , it’s a spinoff of Callies, can’t even tell it was damaged

 

I have used Marine, Mile High and Shaftech.
Shaftech has been the best quality.

 

In what way(s) were Marine and Mile High inferior?

 

The last one Mile High repaired had lots of porosity in the rod journal radii. If the crank flexes, it's likely material will flake from the porous area.
Only had one repaired by Marine and it was pretty good. The Shaftech has the nicest finish and sizing of the three we are discussing.

I have used Mile High successsfully but after the crank I described, I tried Marine and was satisfied, I tried Shaftech and was impressed. At my age, I am seldom impressed anymore.

 

I would not trust a crank thats is welded on fpr a big up build

 

This belongs in the boat section.........

Be safe, schick

 

We have a boat section? How did we get there from this post?

 

Boats are for people who think racing is too expensive...

 

You have to have 5000 posts before you can get into the boat section.

 

I should probably clarify that this is a joke, as there is no boat section.

 

We had a bad experience with one from Shaftech. BBC 4.375" Callies Magnum, throws looked great but crank trashed bearings and had .011 run-out after 3 soft dyno pulls.
