Crank Pinning Question...
I just picked up one of Andy's kits - its used and came with 1 pin for the crank. I didnt think it came with any but then found it in the box lol. Anyway, is one pin what you guys are running (planning on running 9 psi) for some reason I thought I found a few pics where 2 pins were used. Maybe this is just on higher boost apps - just wanted to make sure before I start taking things apart!
Thanks

I may check at Lowes or Home Depot and see if I can find a second dowel pin. I guess it wont hurt as long as I'm in there.
But its good to know that the one will work.
Guess I'm about ready to start taking things apart...
-Thanks for the info!

Oh, as long as we are on this topic - can I reuse the crank bolt? I guess if headstuds stretch a crank bolt at 150 ft-lbs might also?
If so, I'd better get to the dealer and order one soon.
Red-Loctite?
