B cranks, uh? Hope you have a 4500rpm limit...

Put a roller crank in it.

Craig,

I've been running B cranks for 35 years and at least a couple of hundred thousand miles. Rarely go above 4500 as I drive for pleasure, not to race and have never had a crank or rod failure.

Tom,
You first....

Cheers,
Joel

No love for B cranks or Roller cranks.

'Tis a beautiful car, Joel! Great shade of green. I'm still foolish enough to like to buzz 'em up, and occasionally pay the price. Maybe I'll grow up someday...

I'm not going to claim to be an expert on B cranks, never used one, but I have heard many times from reputable, knowledgable people (such as Craig) not to push them too hard. (as you describe your driving practices).

I thought I would get a rise out of Craig on the Roller Crank comment.
