Crank Hub Galling

Apart from a spline drive deal crank..........

Are there any other effective ways to stop it with a normal two key conventional deal ?

Thanks.

 

Special bolt and washer 450# tourque

 

Where would a person find this special bolt and washer ?

 

Would Loctite help ?

Plus never sieze on crank

 

How much of a benefit is a crank support on a BBC deal? Either rear or front bearing setup?

In my case planning to run 192% over with a PSI-C.

The BBC snout is pretty compact and stout, but I need to order (or potentially custom design) new cranks.

Thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks.

 

no help

 

Meaning no net benefit?

 

exactly

 

How can you possibly say that? An RCD external support will absolutely prolong the life of a BBC crank. High OD and a tight 8mm belt will kill a decent crank at the #1 main fillet in short order. I’ve always heard Winbergs don’t need a crank support but I don’t buy it

 

I have had all types all overdrives- all style blowers- crankshafts . All syle of supports-The outboard is to flelxible to do any good after you have it all set up and tightened put a small bar on it and it still moves. Been there and done all of the above-the inboard does seem to help Oh by the way how can I say that is because I was down that road many times - the cranks are the KEY Bryant-Wineberg -New Callies big$

 

Mike, can we talk a bit off-line?

Email or phone.

Thanks.

Having a crank hub made from a dissimilar metal, such as Titanium, helps the galling and metal transfer. And having the bolt and washer to torque to 400 ft lbs. If the crank snout isn’t 3/4-16 thread, you need to have it drilled and tapped. 1/2” is insufficient to get it tight enough.

we lost our galling with a titanium hub

 

Did you use anti-seize as well?
