yeh i was only at 14 psi when the crank broke.... thats some serious bs

Well, there could have been a defect in the crank. Usually bad tuning would wreck a piston, rod, or bearing before causing havok on the crank.

Good news is you can use any 2.2L crank to fix it.

yeh i had my crank machined because of a spun bearing, they said my crank was bent so they straightend it and what not... previously this crank has gone through extreme temps which led to my spun bearing, maby thats why it didnt last so long

yeh i love that part

I actually have one just like that, in the block that was in the car when I bought it. Made an awesome racket when it finally fully separated.......

Um yeah. Clearly no defect in the crank.

Yeah....I wouldn't straighten a crank....it should have been scrapped.

Especially when you can probably get a decent one from somebody for cheaper as the regular EJ22 crank is the same.

well the machine shop is very good so i trusted them with my crank but at the time i wasnt thinking of just buying a used one since the shop took the crank of my hands pretty quick then i was presented with the bill...

well once i fix the crank and install new bearings the legacy is going up for sale.
