    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Welded crank?

My engine # is glommed over with black paint, but as near as I can make it out it is:

_ _ X-150971

Any way to know if my 1100EZ crank is welded?

So they did weld some small end cranks?

Yes, late in 82 to cure the twisting problem. Some late 82s also had large left ends on them. More were welded small ends than large end 82s though. Ray.
 
Twist risk?

Twist risk?

If my 1100EZ is stock except for APE pods and V&H exhaust and I have a heavy hand on the throttle and occasionally red line it, what is the risk of twisting the crank (if that's the correct term)?

You're fine
Don't put a big block on it even though I ran an 1166 kit with an 80 motor with oversized valves and a street port. Not a problem. Seems they twist young or not at all. (Stock)

Mine did it at about 6 months (1982). Im pretty sure I had never taken it to red line. That day i fired it up, ran about 5-6 miles at 30-45mph. Rolled out to the main road, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, blaaaaaaaa. I knew right away something was wrong.
