I have a perfect S38 crank and hub for sale. Let me know if you are interested.

so if my options are a few dollars for jbweld or a few thousand for all new crank parts and or a new motor, i think ill give the jb weld avenue a try...


I'd suggest giving the M5 its due and fixing it correctly so you or the next owner doesn't have to re-do it shortly. Pulling the engine and replacing the crank is not that difficult. You can leave the head, pistons, etc. in place and just surgically graft-in the new crank with a fresh set of bearings. Email me if you need details.

are you sure you wanna risk holding on a crank hub at 6,000 rpm with locktite? stand clear.

If my crank nut hadn't already come off twice and caused metal trading to go on on my crank snout.. then this would be far and away a solution of superior strength. :)
