Title: Okrasa 78.4 crank worth €?? Post by: Type1/DVK on January 29, 2013, 22:47:15 pm I've scored this 78.4 Okrasa crank today and it's in a good condition on the journals, grinded to 0.25 on the mains
(http://s1.postimage.org/4uetam28v/IMG_20130129_WA0003.jpg) I've searched all topics here and on google, some prices vary from $200 to $600 These cranks arent laying around everywhere, so best to hang on to it or to sell it? and what could it be worth? I've got no intentions (yet ;D ;D) of building a 2165 or somewhat else.. Thanks, Martin! ;D Title: Re: Okrasa 78.4 crank worth €??

firstly with the bug pack and in recent years, nearly all the chinese cranks. Seems supect that the mains-only are ground, and it looks to me like the rod journals have been ground down to chevy? The ones I have seen, all 78.4s came as VW journal, and the 84s were Porsche. This is not to say that there were not others, only that yours may have been f?*ked with. Yes get it crack tested before getting too excited. Title: Re: Okrasa 78.4 crank worth €?? Post by: Type1/DVK on January 30, 2013, 23:30:18 pm Thanks for the reply's! I've got some more images of it. Doesn't 'seem to be' a knock-off to me
Journals are std vw and mains are ground 0.25 (they could use another 0.25 though..) and/or good mains polish When i have a purpose for it, i'll send it to Udo for inspection and so forth.

I also suspect its cross-drilled like original, which new chinese cranks don;t have afaik. These were truely forged cranks, made by a upper end quality german small-batch specialist crank maker. It would make for an awesome turbo engine crank ;D Title: Re: Okrasa 78.4 crank worth €?? Post by: Type1/DVK on February 01, 2013, 18:15:05 pm Thanks Walter and others.. i will have a look what to do with it for the future. One thing is for sure, it's a nice piece! ;D
