..Hey Tim whats the price to just stroke the crank if its good,or if someone bought one of Brads crank already balanced with z400 bearing?

same amount of work to stroke a good crank as a bad. So my guess is the same. He has to replace the pin with an offset pin. Just find a busted crank and send it to him. They are around. smile.gif

He uses a offset pin?!?!? That is a weaker way to stroke the crank. Why not just move the placement of the pin??

Because when you weld existing hole it makes crank half weaker.Remember it is only about 2mm offset.Yoshimura 450 kit is 5mm offset pin.Havent heard of any issues with that.

You could be right and I haven't heard of any problems with Tim's work, but I have just always been skeptical of offset pins

Timbo uses neather an offset pin or a welded crank half. He moves the pin, yes. But no welding is needed with his method.:head:
