Need Advice On Used Crank

[Blaster528]

Hey guys I'm looking at a crank on eBay, it's used and its in "good" condition. They say the big end clearance is around .50mm which is still in spec. It was $100 and I offered $75. Do you guys think it's worth it? I don't want to spend money and find out its junk. Here's the link

well the auction has ended so who knows lol

My opinion, its $125 to get your crank rebuilt. If your spending $100 on a used, why not send yours to get rebuilt?

Yeah it's ended because they accepted my offer of $75. And I would have my crank rebuilt but I only have a Vito's +3. Do you think it's worth $75

Hold on trying to upload video. The crank needs to be rebuilt, it has no up and down play but a lot of side to side

I would say get the +3 rebuilt. Why go back to standard stroke if you have a +3

Send it to Ken. Done.

Well I got the quad for free because of the bad crank, and I've been riding it ever since, so pretty much there's been no power difference

I'm just gonna buy that crank for $75, I'm looking to get rid of it soon and have a tight budget. However if and when I do aquire another blaster I'll have the +3 put in it

Why sell it. That blaster has the potential to be a beast if you have that crank rebuilt and have the cylinder and head machined to match the +3. Are you saying that there was no power difference between standard stroke and the +3? If so, that is because something is wrong. The cylinder has to be ported for the +3 and the head machined for it as well to see the power gains of the +3

I have another blaster that I'm keeping and currently I'm doing a rebuild. I don't have any money to machine the cylinder or head. I was saying there was no difference between standard stroke and +3 because I've only had the +3 when it was blown
