I will weight tomorrow, It was made for CP piston weight and Arrow rods, It doesnt need the extra balancer weights needed due to the weight of the componants used and the rod angle being a 2lt,
10,000rpm and 1000hp would be no problems for this unit, and as they have straight shot oiling no problems with rod bearings or oil pumps at that rpm.

Don't judge the eagle by the photo that was posted. Someone had their hands on that one, it's not how they look out of the box. I have one at the shop I can take pics if anyone wants to see it.

I have had two (Eagle) of their cranks and they both have spun rod bearings due to poor oiling after 6000rpms. Sport the extra cash for a K1. They are 3 pounds lighter and are centrifically drilled for oiling. I have one (K1) in stock if your interested PM me.

Centrically, yes, centrifically....no. "Centrifical", doesn't show up in the dictionary. I find, centrifugal, centric, concentric, and , centripetal, among others, incuding eccentric. Centrific, however, does not appear.

DO NOT BUY EAGLE!

JAM- I knew that one had been attacked with a grinder or crazed, coke addicted monkey with a spoon, but I was trying to determine exactly what in the pic (if not the monkey marks) was the issue. I have used Eagle in my small and big blocks for a long time and never had any issues.
I do like that the K1 is nitrided, not that that is my main concern.

I have seen another one that is around 70% as poor as that one.

For the life of me I have no idea why any crank manufactor would copy the standard drilling.

That crank and the other I have seen have been machined with a chain saw,
The crank I choose to use and sell costs over 3 times that of the eagle,
Will I sell many of them no, Could I sell more Eagle cranks hell yes and make more money doing this, But I would not be happy in doing this.

on my stroker I'm using Ross pisions, Oliver rods and Eagle Crank.
Never had any trouble out of the Eagle crank. it came out of the box looking perfect....maybe I was just lucky, for once lol
