used crank worth it?

[ford_guy]

Is there any way to tell how much life I would get out of one. I found a sweet deal on it but am leaning towards rebuilding because of longevity.
What do you guys think about it? 50 bucks for a crank that was swapped out for a stroker. Supposedly completely fine. It would save a lot of money is kind of sketchy. Let me know! Thank you!

Id save up a few more bucks and have yours rebuilt. the one you buy used might be fine, but IMO, its just not worth the risk.

Agreed, send it to Ken to get rebuilt.

For the cost VS reliability it is sketchy at best. If you can have it in your hands to inspect and measure, might be worth it.
I did same as far as changing to a stroker. Using the crank for engine for a flipper.

Something I saw elsewhere : A used crank is like a used condom, it's already someone else's mess.

Thought so. Thank you for the input.
