core charges

[JDiablo]

i was looking at something on ebay,well a 460 kit and it says i need to get the crankshaft core charged,my question is what exactly does a core charge do and why do we need to get them?thanks

[wheeltrax]

means you have to send in your "old" crankshaft.

[JDiablo]

that it?:huh so it says "does not include core charge" that means no prices get reduced because u dont send in your old one?:confused:

[LazeR]

If it says does not include core charge, then its saying if you don't send in your crank, then there is gonna be a fee!

[JDiablo]

[frosti108]

[JDiablo]

[wheeltrax]

That means when you buy the kit, the seller will add on a core charge for the cam and crank. Maybe another 200-250? dollars that will be refunded to you when you send them your own crank and camshaft. For example, it's just like the deposit you pay on a pop can, you pay an extra 5 cents up front which is refunded when you return the pop can. FYI, I bought a set of footpegs for a cr250 off this guy Nov. 11 and they still haven't shown up yet. I emailed him 3 weeks later and he said his records show they were shipped but he was going to send another set to me. It's been 9 days and still nothing and he lives fairly close to me. Take it for what it's worth.:(

ehh ok i gotcha,damn they have to screw you for every lil penny nowadays

As long as you send in your stock crank and cam there isnt any extra charge.

They do they so they have an inventory of stroked cranks and reground cams.

that sux,lol well i gotta talk to the guy,it is the weekend,so wat do you think of that 460 kit?

[K_Fulk]

It will haul the mail. You will also need to get some valve springs valve guides and hardend rockers. Get your head ported also and you will be ready to go.

[JDiablo]

mikeboone is hooking me up with new head,ported,polish,new valves,springs,exhaust studs,whole nine yards so i should be set to go

[K_Fulk]

Depending on what cam they send you, you may need shorend guides. And you will need hardend rockers and the stiffer valve springs.

[K_Fulk]

Its up to you, but if your spending that much money I would use the better cam.

[JDiablo]
