Press-crank rebuild.

[Guest]

Getting ready to rebuild a 1100E motor, who besides Falicon does press-together crank work these days? Looks like APE does plain bearing only judging from their website but I may be incorrect on that.

Jon Pearson of Pearson Racing and Stan Gardner of GRC are the most common names bantered about here when talk of crank work is discussed.

Thanks, I forgot about Pearson and I'm not familiar with Gardner.

Stan Gardner is in Maine at 207-664-0377. John Pearson is in Ohio & there is also Bob Mosher at Accurate Crankshaft in Florida at 813-933-6374. Bob used to run the shop at Falicon till he got tired of all their CRAP & opened his own shop. He's an honest guy to deal with as are Pearson & Gardner. I wouldn't send my weedeater crank to Falicon, let alone a crank I cared about!!! Ray.

I'd say it's because Bob Mosher is no longer there ^^

Stan did my crank truly a work of art, very good job.

We send all of our roller bearing cranks to Stan Gardner.

I've got to say that was my impression. I sent a crank to them about 15 years ago and they did fine work but times and companies do change.


Thanks to everyone on their input on this. I plan to start an entire bike rebuild as soon as I finish building my new work bench. I've got three engines to work with and I would like to have a two completely rebuilt and servicable engines when I'm through. It should start as a late winter project but I'm developing my budget now.
