The ATI Crank Pin Drill Kit (part ATI918008) is built for Gen III HEMI 5.7L, 6.1L, and 392 Non-VVT engines produced before 2009.

Why Choose the ATI Crank Pin Drill Kit?
As power levels climb, the stock press-fit hub can twist or slip on the crankshaft. This ATI Drill Kit adds a mechanical lock that eliminates movement between the hub and crank, ensuring consistent timing and long-term reliability. Its simple, precise, and proven by top engine builders. Pair it with an ATI Super Damper for the ultimate protection against crankshaft stress and vibration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this work on 2009+ VVT HEMI engines?
No. The ATI918008 kit is for pre-2009 Non-VVT HEMI engines only. VVT versions use a different pinning solution.
Do I need tuning after installation?
No tuning is required unless youre adding boost or making other performance changes. The pinning process doesnt affect fuel or timing directly.
Does it fit both ATI and stock dampers?
Yes. The kit works perfectly with ATI Super Dampers and most OEM or aftermarket dampers using the stock hub interface.
Whats the main advantage for street builds?
It prevents damper creep under acceleration, keeping belts and timing accurate for smooth, repeatable performance on the street or strip.
