Bent crank was only noticed after trying to figure out why
main bearings had odd wear.....just say no to cast I guess.
Motor has a lot of miles on it, apears to be recent failure.
Would not feel so bad but complete motor was profesionaly
built assembled just so I would not blame myself, guess who
is assembling this one

Crank shows .006" at middle bearing
and was just turned .010 under a year ago.
