Description
K1 Technologies forged crankshafts offer world-class design that’s affordable. Their energy transfer technology forges top-quality crankshafts from 4340 steel that’s core-hardened and tempered to reduce stress and optimize tensile strength. K1 uses a nitriding process for hardening (not induction heat-treating) to eliminate softening between the journals and any post-running deformation. The forged crankshafts feature straight oil holes for the best oiling to the rod journals, to ensure the most bang for the buck. Counterweights are placed for optimal load reduction and ease of balancing and each crankshaft is magnetic particle inspected, as well as held to a maximum tolerance of .0002 in. journal dimension.
