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?

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.Comment

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)?1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

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.

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.Originally posted by chef1366 View Post82 1100 EZ (red)
