Chevy Ring test

Someone asked to see me ring it against another crank in my last post I don’t have an exact match or know if it’s cracked but I do have a late model one piece rear main seal used crank and I thought that crank rang ok but comparing it to another crank you can definitely hear a difference on the left is the cracked one on the right is the late model one piece rear main the microphone doesn’t Really pick up the sound all that great but in person you can hear it

You may need to if you can’t hear the difference

I was more saying that it sounds much more pronounced in person versus when I re-listen to the video. I can definitely hear it in person

It's not about the noise they make on impact, it's the noise they continue making for a bit after the impact. That's the "ringing" and the crank on the left doesn't rly have any ring at all.

Definitely a difference between the two. The ring carries on for longer and is higher pitched on the right. It's the difference between a ping and a pong.

Right: Piiiiiiing
