alexideways Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 If I have two choices of crank that I can take, both come from the same engine but, one has 8 counterweights & the other one has 12 counterweights... Which of the two cranks would be better suited for higher revs. My guess would be 8 since it's lighter and that they used 12 on the other one for smoothness... Thanks.

G.I.jonas Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 What engine? 4.0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexideways Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 Yup, I want to stoke it with the 4.2 crank and there's 2 choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
383 240z Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 It would depend on the use of the engine. I have a 4.6L stroker in my rockcrawler (1990 YJ) I used the heavyweight crank to help with some stalling issues. When I would be crawiling a big boulder I would use the extra mass to help ease me over the edge. Now in my wife off road Jeep (1997 ZJ/Grand) well she pefers MUD, where wheel speed is king, her stroker got the light weight crank so she could mash it off the line and get her wheel speed up ASAP. Her's is also an automatic, mine is a 5 speed. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
