Meanwhile, English Racing uses an Eagle forged 88mm to make 1400whp. Why do they use it? Because it's the only one that doesn't crack out of testing all the cranks at 1100-1200whp+...
i thought they used K1 cranks for the big horsey builds

They use K1 for up to about 1k, or if they want the lightness for a road race car. Otherwise, Myles said on the 1320video segment on the Drag8 and X at WCF. The 8 has an eagle 88m forged crank in it. Confirmed with someone else at the shop that is what they us for 2.0L drag stuff going into 4 digit and then some territory.

So a properly prepped Eagle crank is the way to go? I was thinking of using a K1 crank if I was to ever do another build, I've never been a fan of Eagle. Admittedly though that was only because I've always regarded them as "lower end". Clearly they're a stout crank if they're holding that type of power.
This came out of a 2.4 build that I put about 80k on (My daily Driver) The block/crank came out of a crashed Galant
OEM 7Bolt 4g64 crank
Wiseco 1400HD K626M865
Eagle 150mm (Std Length) Rods
all balanced
No Balance shafts
OEM 2.0 Damper
ACT XTSS
At the time my car was powered by a BB FPBlack
624/525 on e85
524/427 on 92
Rev Limit set to 7800
I finally swapped engines due to horrible leakdown numbers and replaced it with a long rod version of the same engine.
A couple weeks ago I decided to tear down the 80k block and freshen it up! During the cleaning process I found the below crack on #4 (clutch to the left)

For those of you who don't know Robert Garcia of So Cal, there is no Evo that can hold up to his abuse. Lol
Anyway, this is his Manley billet 88mm crankshaft oil journal after 10,000 miles.
WOW, so these guys call themselves professional engine builders?

I think you got your money’s worth out of that crank. Stock cranks flex some at those levels so they have a somewhat of a service life.
This guy bought block built from a shop. It's sitting at Arlington this time and they will build with a Callie's crank.
The first shop was a professional shop? It would be nice to know who built that first engine, so people would know who to avoid when buying a so called “built block”.
Callies cranks are pricey, but their cranks are flawless, meticulously polished pieces of art......no sharp edges on those cranks! I’ve only seen one sbc Callies, but it was beautiful.

He hasn't responded yet. There are some shops locally, but many come and go.
It's a pity what happened to the gentleman's crank. And comments above can escalate quickly. I personally know the shop named and can vouch for their work. That being said sometimes iiissshhh happens whether it be a faulty part or fault of the machine shop or builder. I think it happens at all shops to some degree. Hope the OP gets his beast up and running again with no issues.
