Its all in jest and fun. If someone seriously gets mad at this penis sizing contest they need to evaluate whether or not they are grown up enough to be on the forum.

I have no problem raping someone like GuyGordon at every opportunity though...that F'er needs to get ran over by a viper...(reference to the latest CC accident if you haven't seen it yet)
LOL. Oh God. Who is GayGordon?

OMG!!! THIS S**T RIGHT HERE HAS ME DYING!!! YOU GUYS RELY HELP THE TIME FLY. I LEGITMATELY TOOK THE TIME TO READ EVERY COMMENT!!!:cheers::lol::lol::lol:
Ha! That got bad it it trickled into other threads. I had my signature changed for a while messing with that SOB. If you search GuyGordon you can find other threads where people have beat on him.

For those that don't know him he has a fully "hand built" 15 where he swaps his P1 for a D1 and and F1 when he feels like it...also has an aluminator as well. Definition of a DB

Doctor F - I am open this weekend all in for a cruise

Talking to a well know tuner he told be to make sure to check the TQ on the factory balance bolt or better yet just replace it with ARP bolt and be done with it .. The ones he has seen fail was the bolt backing off ..He felt the factory balancer was fine but the bolt was on the weak side ..I don't know myself but it made sense to me ..

I've seen a TT 11-14 snap the crank too.
As have I....

Just seems the brand "V-tech" guys seem to pick on us a little.
Even though I have seen broke cranks on 11-14 cars with every brand power adder. (other then N20)

Just is what it is on those cars.

Not all cranks have the front side as hard are the middle and rear.
(even forged)

EXAMPLE: Harleys... only the side with the chain is strong.

Does that mean there's a substantial difference between the 11-14 crank and the 15-17 crank related to this? Or just speculating? Seems to be quite a controversial topic for some reason.

I wouldn't know... maybe Ford or a crankshaft company could tell you.

All I know is that I haven't seen one fail yet.

Guys i would not get all worked up over this crank thing,believe it or not we have one of the strongest motors out of the big three.For me if i worry about my crank breaking i would not enjoy my car for the way i built it.its said all the time about the amount of power these coyotes handle and at the end of the day we take the risk when we build these motors up to 650/700 whp,and even at that these motors are doing very well so far.

Had this happen recently to a friend on 14 Mustang with a VMP blower. Snapped in the same spot in front of the timing gear. It was determined that the ATI balancer wasn't fully seated.
