Yes, I was able to get another teksid block from racebroco a member on here. He was actually the one I got the first teksid from back in 2010. Great guy. A few of the main bearings spun.
They were actually really Great about it. It had been 5 years since they built the engine, they could of easily denied responsibility.
Lol I've bought a teksid block from him too. He must like selling those
That was very nice of the shop to take care of you 5 years later. There are some good people out there still.
Thrust bearing was my guess.
I almost always have a block or two laying around.

Thanks for the block brother!! Motor is iny buddies Mach for the time being and will be fired up for the first time tomorrow.
I just looked at the crank. It does not look like a forged cobra crank. It does not have the counter weights on each of the crank throws. Look at the crank in the link. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1996-2004-F...ash=item25cca62c57:g:Mu8AAOSw0UdXwHX9&vxp=mtr
I was worried about that also not having the counter weights in the center. After doing some research looks like these cranks were machined down to be lighter for the cammer motor. It's also a 8 bolt crank. MMR was selling them a few years ago.

The center does not look like it has been machined down. It is not there at all. Any ways as long as you are happy with it that is all the counts.
It looks more like a 2v crank. Nothing wrong with a 2v crank. The engine will t. rev faster without the other 2 counterweights anyways. I tell all my customers to just run a 2v crank and save your money for other mods. They won't, kind of like paint vs powder coating, on a oil pan of timing cover it deosn't matter but you can tell customers that.
Well I hope it's a till a forged crank, it doesn't have the casting line down the middle like cast cranks do.
On this post from MMR it shows actually pictures of the crankshaft.

I do not trust MMR in anything they say. Verify anything MMR says. I have had several issues with them so it is not what i heard. That being said just think about it, look at the center counter weights. If the were machined down to almost nothing why is there casting mark not machine marks. When the counterweights are machined down it is in a circular motion which is not what it looks like.
I think what they mean is the crank is made without those counter weights in the center as are most forged cranks I see in production today. I don't think this was a crankshaft produced by MMR, simply sold by MMR.
They wrote in several forums that the counterweights were machined. That is different than these cranks do not have the center counter weights.
Yep the outer counter weights were machined down reducing weight. The f6tece stamp designated a forged crankshaft right? I'm pretty sure this is still a forged crankshaft hopefully someone else will chime in.
