dangdang Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Gday, I'm currently building a 4agte for my ae82 Twincam. I brought what was a rebuilt 4agze block already fitted with Aries 8.0 forged pistons, spool rods, and its a seven rib with oil squirters. All good, then whilst I was checking the mains with plastiguage I found that the crank has been ground undersize and therefore has thicker "standard" type shells, I figure I really need to run the acl grooved "race" type as I will be heading north of 20 psi but these are not available in the shell thicknesses this ground crank requires. My question is what is the best crank to source, and are GZE and GE late, large journal cranks the same? I've read conflicting info in regards to the composition of GE and GZE cranks and whether they are actually forged or not. My machinist here in Tas seems to think we might have to source from Japan as we are having real trouble finding any GE crank, if so I want to make sure I get the right one. Build details of this engine can be found here.http://www.ae82.net/showthread.php?2...82-4agte-build Any help is muchly appreciated as I'm getting real cranky with this hold up in the build. Everything else is bout ready to go, just need a crank!!! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro Protagonist Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 There are only 2 different 4AGE cranks. The first is for the 3-rib bigport 4AGE, and the second is for every other 4AG, be it 16v, 20v, or GZE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a couple of related ones, but the big one from memory was about the GZE pistons being forged/semi-forged Are 4AGZE cranks forged steel or cast Forged or not? 4AGZE/1GGZE pistons Edited August 20, 2010 by Hiro Protagonist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
