Does anyone know someone that uses the Magnus Motor Sports 100mm crank? Never heard it mentioned anywhere on this site. I have billet 100mm Manley and if there is ever a problem that is where I was looking to head next.

Callies crank looks nice. I don't know if they're any better than Manley.

Oil port looks the same. Did they just smooth the port out internally?

I'm guessing they haven't released the updated version yet and are still testing it.

ideally a better solution would be a steeper angle that results in a thicker cross section where it cracks.. IMO

Yes, but the fracture appears to be from oil port design. What alternatives are out there that are not made from Chinese steel?

You do realize that most big names in engine internals has their products made in China or Taiwan and they finish machine them in the US. Eagle, K1, Manley, Scat, Crower, BC, Wiseco, cast/forged in Asia.

The only exception are companies like Winberg who's cranks cost $3k. Oliver and CP-Carrillo are the only ones I'm aware of that don't source castings and forgings from Asia for rods and pistons.

Balance and micro polish...hopefully this will live longer and stronger for you.

Manley I beams are made here, I used Carrillo in my personal build and always recommend them, Chinese made parts should not be used in any internal combustion engine. As far as cranks OEM or Callies cranks, I refuse to use or recommend Manley junk.

Taiwan has better quality control by a long shot over China!
