Crank Putty's
 

I've notice in some modded cranks there is a type of expoy type putty used to shape an intake ramp. Anybody know what this stuff is?

Hmm, nobody want's to comment on this? I would like to know what this is as well.

Myself and a few other use Permatex Red RTV without any problems for more than a year.
The stuff doesn't have to be hard, it has to stay put……Stefan

Oh, and btw, you know what the real reson for this stuff in the JP cranks is?
JP bores out the crankshaft towards the fron (clutch) to make it lighter and the putty is used to seal that hole, or it would change gas flow and crankcase volume negatively…….Stefan

On your newest engine you don't need it, do you? ;)

Nope;) tryin to talk Rodney into gettin one so he can catch me:D
