Which one...Falicon or Marine Crank?
Many of you have spoken about having crank work done or have already stroked a crank or two. Which of the two companies would you prefer and why?

Marine Crank is the best .... Falicon is an old friend and back in the day i would have said to use him ... But he no longer owns the place .. I have head some screwy storys lately about falicon cranks , i don't know if they are true .... But i have heard nothing but good about Marine Crank.

I've heard good things about Marine but it still seems like Falicon still gets most of the work between the two.

Guy at my local track just got a 10 motor back and 1 pass it spun a bearing. Falicon is taking care of it but poor guy.

I heard bad stuff about Falicon's I beam rods. They have no strength and tend to bend with high horsepower apps. But the news doesn't come from everyone. Hit and miss I guess which points to quality control. Haven't heard anything about their cranks .

I've used both and I wouldn't send another crank to Falicon if they ran a 75% off sale with free shipping. Falicon said my crank was cracked, and didn't want to send it back.
Finally got it back and sent it to APE, who fixed it without any problems.
A local guy said he sent 3 cranks to falicon before they had one they could fix.
Send your crank to Marine to have it fixed right the first time.
