ATI Crank Pin Problem
ATI Crank Pin Problem Just used the ATI 918993 kit to pin my crank. I must have gone to much rpm with the reamer because the pin just falls through the crank. ATI said I can use loctite. Should I do that or drill another spot on the crank?
Youll need a big enough burr to hold it in place. I’d try to make one arise lengthwise along the body. Don’t over-do this…it won’t take much to hold it. The red Loctite suggestion by ATI could work, but a super small rise or burr would ensure it’s not moving. Yes, gently tap it. If you have to pound on it, you’ve went too big with the marking. It should only require an easy tap with a small ball-peen.

Brett Foote There is also a special Loctite for looser parts/greater clearances. It may be green (?). Can't remember. More than one way to skin a cats ***! You don't have to run a hardened pin. This is a no wear item. If you have too much trouble, you could always have another pin made. It shouldn't be cost prohibitive. Perhaps metallizing it, etc. I'd try red loctite first, as Che70velle suggested, and go from there.......
