have you used a mic to check "out of round" it at its end alone?.



a crank just sitting in a wooden shipping crate will easily (given its weight and size) be out of spec from end to end by 0.0008" or more, until it has had some run time on it in a more precision environment (the engine block) .. simply because it is suspended by wood, etc.. in the crate, due to settling in the box. I went thru this same type of issues, and measurements, when shipping precision-made machinery from USA to europe in the past. Unless that shipping container has some seriously rigid steel retainers.. it is impossible for that crank to be perfect .. even after an hour is settling.. nonetheless weeks or months and being tossed around by the yankes that carelessly delivered it.
