OVERVIEW
Crank hub failure is one of the most reported issues plaguing the S55 engine - when the hub slips or spins the engine skips timing, which can cause catastrophic engine and valvetrain damage. The Speed Logic 4-pin crank hub uses a keyed timing sprocket hub assembly together with a 4-pin oil pump sprocket that locks into the nose of the crankshaft, a significant upgrade over the stock design, which relies on friction alone to keep the engine in time. It is proudly made and machined in the USA, and installation should be carried out only by a trained technician using the correct specialty tools.
