is that easily to weld a crank?

You mean they don't, right?
Tony.

Yes Tony, sorry about that.

get some one who has done it with success many times. there things you need to know. thats why it cost $300 to do it from the people who know.

Anyway to tell if a crank has been welded without tearing it down? If so what am I looking for?

Joe,
You pull the clutch basket out and you will be able to see the welds by peering into the crankcase.

use ER80-D3 tig rod and heat shield your bearings

the more power you plan to put to it the wider and deeper the welds.

maximum weld width a quarter of an inch( 6~7mm ) good for 100 shot of nitrous!!

do not forget to test fit your crank in the cases. There is a chance a big sloppy weld bead will hit the cases as it spins around. rod area too.

you cannot weld a crank as one piece. as mentioned it has to be broken down and reassembled, welding each web to the big end journal at a time, whilst constantly keeping it true. a proper jig is required to prevent distortion and a bloody good welder!

Once again, you speak of what you do not know. Now you know what it feels like to open your mouth because you need to change feet. Ray.
