Well I ended up with the wrong crank and now I have to find another, that I can afford, for my engine build. It will be a 9.2CR 365ci Iron Block. I'm wanting to know if any of you are using one, how much is it turned, any problems, and what power/boost levels are you guys at? Thanks

The one I am running is turned 10/10. No biggie. Info in my sig. Probably at or near 1000whp.

I don't think it has any effect other than needing thicker bearings.

k. keep in mind this is cast iron, not forged 4340. anyone else before I purchase one that's turned? thanks everyone

Most used cranks are turned 10/10 to clean and true up journals. The loss of strength is very small. I have seen 900 HP mentioned as a limit for stock nodular iron LS cranks. There are methods to harden the surface of the journals after the grind. I think one is called pachardizing?

.010 is something like the thickness of a piece of paper or a hair. I wouldn't trip on it.

thanks guys.

my new problem is the crank I'm buying the guy doesn't know how much it was turned. will the machine shop be able to tell so I can order the right sized bearings?

I wouldnt buy it before I knew how much was cut off. And yes, a machine shop can see how much has been removed.

I'd just buy a standard one, they can be found easily.

well the guy told me "it was turned about the minimum you can go, and still use factory bearings." either way, with it being turned & polished and the deal I'm getting will be worth buying it, even if the shop has to mic it. thanks everyone!
