Crankshaftt
I installed the crank I had ground in 1980 and come to find out it is .003 out in center main and the inner thrust is .007 on one side and drags on the other but the flange is square. :oops: It is fresh .020 all. Any help ?,I live in Portsmouth ,VA. I have 2 other cranks I think are junk but I hate ...
