I may be THE FIRST.... Nah, I can't be...

[RogueCustoms]

So, I did some searching... On this forum and another one... It seems like... I might be the first one to actually break clean through a 7m crank. Yup, I actually broke my crank.... Is that ridiculous or what?!

The good news is that it seems like the crank and a rod bearing are the only things wrong with it. I will be shipping out to a machine shop just to make sure there's nothing wrong with it. I just can't believe I actually broke a crank.

I pretty sure the last place i had rebuild my bottom end didn't do anything other than replace my bearings the last time I had a rod knock. Do No EVER go to a place called Toy Doctors in Tualatin, Oregon! They sill rape you over some coals, all the while using barbed wire...

This! I've never heard of a 7M bottom end giving way. Nice job!

if you tell me where it is.. ill come see it for my self.. just to be a whitness.. thats crazy.

Bummer. And although I'm aware of a similar sounding idiom that raping over the coals with barb wire thing sounds pretty serious...

 

[dmp316]

i would love to see pictures of this.

I will post pics!! The break is right at the bottom of the first piston. It's crazy!!! The mechanc who found it was pretty shocked too.

Crazy! What kind of power and tune?

Speaking of, there's a dumb toyota tundra commercial recently where they brag about a forged steel crank. Right, because that's special. Not like every modern car uses forged steel...

I have seen a few broken and damaged cranks. Just not forged steel....

Horsepower is about 425 to the ground.... I honestly think it was the shop I took it to doing a cheap a$$ job... My dad had built... And I mean built SS chevelle with a 396... He punched a rod into the block... And the crank was fine... It just clinches my opinion of Toy Doctors.... Toyota specialists my butt.

I wonder if they dropped the crank or something while they had it apart

 

[MNBmk3T]

Definitely want to see pictures of this. First time I've heard of a broken 7M crankshaft.

 

[Suprapowaz!(2)]

Rice liar! You're not man enough to break a forged crank. We need pics.

I wonder if they dropped the crank or something while they had it apart

I was thinking the same thing. I can't see it breaking from rotational force of the engine alone.

 

[Orion ZyGarian]

In for pics!

raping over the coals with barb wire

I concur with the others, we all want to see pics of this.
