Ok, last time i've asked about K1 or OEM crank and decided to buy OEM crank, but it seems to be a problem to buy it, 'cause it's out of stock in my country and even it's out of stock in importers warehouses. So, in my last thread i've heard an advice to buy Manley forged (88mm) crank, and suddenly i found a possibility to buy it, and now i'm really short in time, since my engine is already disassemled and most labor is done, only problem is crankshaft. So guys, i need your opinions, advices and so on about Manley forged crank.

Your help is very appriciated

Why not buy a used one in the FS section on here? There was atleast 3-4 a week ago for sale.

well ) according to the fact that my crank is in good condition buying used one in USA and paying fast airmail delivery like 5$ per lbs isn't looking for me like a deal of the century i just want a new crank, cause i want to build my engine properly

If the stock ones are good to 1000whp why? Just get it knife edged and rebalanced. I mean unless your doing a stroker and need an aftermarket crank it seems pointless, especially sense you already have one.

Unfortunately, we haven't there good places to do a proper knife edging and rebalancing.

Find the closes shop in the us or surrounding country and send it to them. I remember reading about a shop in greece i believe that specializes in evos.

it's all about time and money, to be honest it's basicly cheaper and faster to order a new OEM crank then send my crank to europe, pay for the labor and send it back, and according to the stupid customs law i'll must pay for "imported part", and shipping back will take alot of time just because of some "national customs tradition" So well, only way is - wait for the new OEM crank (unexpected time) or try a Manley one. Tbh, i didn't find any review on this product and it's kinda stopping factor )

Once again, it will be 2.0 liter build, with ported head, carillo/hks rods and pistons, GSC pwr S2 cams, and AMS 750R kit, expected result ~500 whp on a pump gas. I want to build my motor without any excuses, 'cause it will work in really heavy conditions, so THE ONLY way for me, according to the facts i've writted b4 is a new crank. So my question was "Is Manley crank good enough as OEM?"

I dont get this your crank is fine? So why do you need a new one? That makes absolutly no sense.

StanRS

it's "nearly to be o.k.", not fine.

The manley crank is good and cheap. Fathouse just went 150.6mph in the 1/4mile with a manley 88mm crank. It is cheaper than a new stocker and supposed to better with improved oiling.
