We were told "Never seen that before" when we sent a pallet of them in. We micro fractured a 94mm Winberg as a result of a 1-2-1 dogbox issue where normally a crank is the last thing that would have an issue. The only time we see issues is above 1100whp or in endurance racing. The only Eagle to ever break had a long history at 700whp on a pump meth setup, survived two mis shift events and one was violent enough to break an H beam. It took 10 years before it broke and it broke at 600whp on a big turbo on E85 and even then I feel it was driver error...again. Each manufacturer has slightly different method to their oiling, chamfer on the counterweight area and oiling holes, all things that make them unique. All of them strive to improve their product but I doubt anyone that has made power hasnt seen one break, whether they talk about it or not is an entirely different matter. I would never make judgement of quality based on X has run yyy amount and never seen a problem. Chances are they have and you just dont know about it.

It's a long story. Someone created an account with Aaron's name, so he did it back. Only problem is, he became known but with the other guy's name as his account.

Love all of John’s (Aaron’s) posts!
This one is probably the best thread ever for me, all a$$kissing aside seriously!

Aaron quick question,
were a majority of your broken cranks at the oil hole?
If so, is that why the Eagles are stronger, because of the on center drilling instead of a cross drilled crank?
