	69mm one piece forged counterweighted crank It's becoming increasingly difficult to find good quality German forged 69mm cores to use as a basis for a counterweighted crank. I've now stopped offering welded counterweight cranks and use these new one piece forgings in all my stock stroke engines. Forged in one piece from 4140 chromoly, precision ground, micro-polished, nitrided, 8-dowelled and balanced. All oil holes are chamfered and both main and big end journals are standard size.
	78mm 1 pce Forged Crankshaft Machined from an E4340 Chromoly forging. Cross groove oiling holes, extra long 8mm dowel pins, micro polished and nitrided bearing journals. VW main and rod bearing journals. Unless you're building an all out 400plus bhp drag motor, this crank is more than capable of providing the kind of service, quality and reliabilty you need for your performance VW. Recommended.

	82mm 1 pce Forged Crankshaft As above but in 82mm stroke. VW main and rod journals. New lower price
	84mm one piece forged crank As above but in 82mm stroke. VW main and rod journals. New lower price
	Berg Achiever crankshaft pulley (std diameter) The best quality crank pulley you can buy. Machined from billet steel and then silver nickel plated and dynamically balanced. Weighs 3.5lb (1.6kg). Fitted with hard anodized bonded on degree ring. Unlike some of the poorer quality aluminium pulleys, it won't crack or fall apart and won't cause oil leaks around the oil return groove. Also helps improve case life. Stock VW diameter - recommended for the vast majority of street engines. Use of the Berg HD pulley bolt and washer set (listed further down page) is definitely recommended with this item
	Berg Achiever power pulley As above but smaller diameter. Suitable for engines that see infrequent street use or race use only. Smaller diameter slows down fan speed and gives slight increase in top end power as a result. Also suitable for engines using larger diameter Porsche cooling fan. Use of the Berg HD pulley bolt and washer set (listed further down page) is definitely recommended with this item
	Crankshaft gear assembly kit Includes: steel crank gear, spacer, brass distributor drive gear, circlip, oil slinger, two woodruff keys, distributor drive shaft. Fits all Type 1, 2 & 3 engines - 1960 on.
	Racer spacer Extended use of high rpm (7000rpm plus), can cause the stock crank gear spacer to open up. This solves the problem.
	Berg chromoly gland nut & washer 4130 chromoly. Original stock 36mm size. Comes with large diameter washer to provide extra 'holding power'. Also has neoprene seal to prevent needle bearing grease getting onto the clutch. I use these on paractically every engine.
	8mm crankshaft dowel pins (set of 4) Precision ground to exacting tolerances. When your crank and flywheel are properly 8-dowelled using a set of these pins, you know you've got a good fit. Price is for 4 (four) pins.
	Berg HD crank pulley bolt Don't use cheap Taiwnese chrome pulley bolts and washers: the concave washer turns inside out when you tighten it up, the chrome falls off and if you're really lucky, the bolt comes undone, the pulley comes off and wrecks your crankcase! Instead, buy one of these chromoly bolts. Comes with two concave washers. Torque it up to 70ftlbs and never worry about losing a pulley.
	Type 4 centre main adapter bearing Allows you to fit a Type 4 centre main bearing journal crank into a stock case. Requires a slight modification to the case to fit.
	Crank gear Stock steel gear. This is the one that drives the cam.
	Crank spacer Fits between the steel and brass gears on the crank. For extra high rpm engines you might want to consider the racer spacer - listed below
	Brass distributor drive gear These are easily damaged. If in doubt, replace your old gear with one of these brand new stock VW gears.
	Crankshaft circlip Stock replacement circlip.
	Oil slinger Stock replacement
	Crank gear woodruff key Both crank gears locate on this key
	Crank pulley woodruff key Stock replacement key for the crank pulley
	Distributor drive shaft Stock replacement part
	Uni-Tech Performance Rods Brand new chromoly forgings. Similar in appearance to a stock rod but this stronger chromoly forging is clearanced around the big end. I use them on 69mm to 78mm cranks where engine power doesn't exceed 150bhp. Above this level you should switch to the chromoly Super Rods. A very affordable superior quality rod. Supplied in balanced sets of 4.
	Super Race Rods - 5.400" VW 4340 chromoly rods with ARP rod bolts. Stock length for VW journal cranks. I recommend these for any street engine making 130 to 200bhp, in preference to any modified stock rod. With an upgrade to stronger rod bolts, these rods are being used in race only turbo engines! Extremely good value for money and good insurance against rod failure in a fast street engine. The ideal companion to the forged stroker cranks featured at the top of the page.
