Sun, 13 February 2005 00:57 I have heard that the 18rg crank is forged and the 18rc crank isn't but again only heard. does it make sense to be tighter because there is more of an explosion happening in the top end that tightening it that little bit more is just reccommended? people 100: when i chucked my rg together the original crank had a crack in it (bad apparently ) so i stole the crank out of an rc and used that instead. the bearings are the same fro an rc and an rg so it should be alright. when we oiled it all up and tightened to the specified torque we also found that we couldn't turn the bottem end either and were pretty worried, but once we used the starter moter to turn the car over it turned fine. I think that because it is freshly built and the tolerances are pretty tight, that would explain why it is hard to turn. [Report message to a moderator]
