I intend on posting regarding other known issues but I will just start here.<br /><br />The Problem.....<br />The desig...

We do not claim to be the "crank master". I am simply providing information on crank behaviors in relation to engine building 101. Jim or "winkie" is defiantly more educated than I as far as processes involved in rebuilding cranks for these machines. Jim stood up when nobody would and provided a muc...
