U cant be serious if u are comparing the Lunati to the Eagle...The Lunati is $1200+ brand new and will handle anything that u want to throw at it. Eagle is chinese and have been prone to break very often.... And yes it is one piece rear main seal...

Lunati CJ117BN SBC Racer Series Crankshaft 3.75 Stroke, 1PC-2.448 Rear Main, 2.10 Crank Pin, 5.85 Rod Length
Lunati introduced the Racer Series crankshafts as anaffordable alternative to the Pro Series crankshafts. The#1 and # 4 rod journals are drilled to lighten and facilitatebalancing. The same high standards as the ProSeries apply to this crankshaft, with the exception thatthere is no contour work done. The small blockChevrolet Racer Series Crankshaft is only available in3.480, 3.500, 3.750 and 3.875 stroke.

Note where i compared my forged unit not a cast unit, your opinion is only half correct. The 4340 units are more than enough crank for most anyone here's typical build AND finished in AMERICA And half price And not already drilled/balanced for another engine setup.
But yea, GLWS.

A American finished crank made from recycled beer cans and refrigerators from China is not the same as an all american made crankshaft.

^^^ have to agree i would say 89 percent of people runs these cranks and here and there you hear someone breaks one. Hell people break Callie's cranks so it all depends on the application.

You have some proof that Eagle 4340 forgings consist of recycled aluminium,copper & white plastic? Or are you just desperatly trying to coin a Catch Phrase Sig .. Because that Ill informed,ridiculous *** assumption/statement really seems beneath you..

Probably true, and at least for awhile those who did QC here in America looked a lot like:

U guys suck!, at least he^^^ can see both ends if the crank at once .. Defiantly must think outside the box when visually QC'ing one.. I bet he can also see the tree and tach at same time while launching his forged eagle bottom end motor.

I made the mistake of buying Eagle. As far as machining goes, it was fine. No metal needed to be added. It balanced fine, however both ends were completely out of whack. The snout is a couple hundred thousandths small and the pilot hole as well as the centering flange for the flywheel are a couple hundred thousandths too large.

I believe your Lunati is the same crank that's been in my old Formula for 17 years and is still perfect. 17 years ago the series names and designations were different, but the quality remains the same. Great deal on a bullet proof crank. I'm a long term test dummy you could say...lol

Thanks Alan. I hated to put it up for sale. A few people want it, but no money yet... If this keeps up I may just end up keeping it.
