Do you think a cast crank will be fine for my rebuild? You can find a new cast crank for $150ish. I think i could have my stock crank turned, but then i would have to get oversized bearings (already have standard size bearings). How much does getting your crank turned usually cost? Thanks in advance!

 

I would guess it to be $80-100 for a regrind plus probably ~$60 for a name brand bearing set.

The stock crank is forged, right? I personally would keep it. I don't think a cast crank will be a problem for even 500bhp(Ford 2300s have gone in excess of 700rwhp on the stock nodular crank), but I doubt you could even worry a forging, let alone break it at street power levels in a 22R-E.

 

yea around 100 for a regrind. i have built a couple stock 22re's with aftermarket cranks, no problems here.

 

I wouldn't worry about using one in a stock 115hp engine, but I assumed it was for the turbo 4Runner....

 

I would just get it re-ground. Best to stay with Toyota parts.
