Sold: Virginia Kinetic Motorsport Crank Saver Stud

[bankyf]

Attempted to install this while upgrading to an Innovators West balancer. It did seem to fit into the crankshaft to start the threads, so I just went back together with the ARP I was already using. Further research indicated that some crankshafts need to be debured inside for the stud to fit. At this point I’m just going to stick with the ARP. Package is open, but the stud has never been fully installed or torqued. Asking $90 shipped.

Was yours coated blue? Mine just finall showed up and it looks to have blue cerakote on it and wondering how it changed the diameter if at all.

 

[bankyf]

It is not. I’ve had it for a year or so, though.

Hmm, I'll have to see how mine fits into the crank. Thanks for the quick reply+

Let me know if yours fits any better, I'm beginning to wonder if it is the coating. I don't really see a needed to have them coated, I mean other than some light surface rust with the ARP stuff

I threaded mine in last night and it screwed in without issue. It definitely had resistance due to the OD and coating, but was easy enough to turn by hand and then with a socket.
