99 ec 200 crank rebuild

[sweeper]

I've read some of the posts in this forum and it is packed with some real bright people.So who has rebuilt one of these 99-2000 ec 200 cranks?What options are available.Also I've seen some posts referring to the main bearing races spinning on the cranks.Does tgis issue apply to the 99-2000 200s or is this a problem with other models.What's the fix.If I'm gonna rebuild the crank,might as well get it right.Any specific shops specializing in this exact thing.Back in the day the hpp cr 250 engines used a hollow crank.1 in 5 crank builders could get it right.Who is that guy when it comes to the Gasser cranks?

Ron Black would be my choice.

I have had great luck with Ryan Callies http://www.finishlineengines.com/ He has done 4 cranks for me. two 200s, one 250 and one 300. All worked fantastic. He has a reasonable price on bearings too.

Yep! +1 on RB!
Ron will get my crank once i get the case spilt.
As for crank bearings, I've not had any issues, but there due, 13 years is a while for OEM bearings.
More than likely I will go with a upper end bearing from a bearing shop , but well see one there out and how they look.
