I've been out of touch with the TurboSix world for a while, it seems the rest of life got in the way... Anyway, I'm having a motor 'gone thru' that was supposedly 'professionally built' about 10 years ago. It came in an 87T type 'parts' car(no title or paperwork, good luck with that in Cali) from Sacramento area that did run but the tune was questionable and I made a few laps around my garage and that was about it before pulling the drivetrain. When I pulled the plugs I saw the dreaded missing porcelain on three of them so I knew the motor would have to be torn down. I am intimately familiar with Chrysler 2.2/2.5 turbo motors but since I don't have room in my brain to learn another platform I sent it off to a reputable builder a few months ago. Among other problems he found it had a cracked crank, in fact he said the next two he acquired and checked were also cracked and that they are getting very hard to find. So before I go pay him more than DOUBLE what I was expecting to a tear down/inspect/freshening, what is the market value on a good factory crank? Are they getting that scarce?
