Hi,

No, I mean crank-shaft.

When you guys crank up the power in your cars, do you add three more 
dowel pins to the crank/flywheel connection??? I think I'm getting one of 
my cranks back from the Shoppe, and I was wondering if I shouls have this 
done. I'm not buildinf this motor for max. power, but I was wondering if 
anyone on the list has suffered from flywheel bolt failure of other 
catastrophic ocurrances on the business end of the crank. I recall the 
fellow in the yellow GT6 at BRIC as a case in point.

Is this a rare occurance (flywheel/crank bolt failure), or was this a fluke?

regards,
rml
