I forget where I left off here but when torqueing the case the crank got tight

shop was supposed to check out, and after waiting another 3 weeks from when it
was supposed to be done, I don’t think they did ANYTHING to it!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>So
fortunately Jorge at EMW is pretty quick on taking care of me and Ive got an
OEM .10/.10 crank coming, but I lost another week documenting the bent crank
and assembling it,<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Now
a week in shipping so were up to 5 lost weeks of me sitting around here unable
to work on any projects with pieces of engine everywhere! Labor day
next week, leaves me LITTLE TIME to document and assemble the new crank, get
another set of bearings fit and get all this together and back in the car
before Winter cold sets in. Nothing else better go wrong!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

the number of disasters that have come thru on this build… and it sure
exemplifies the need to CHECK EVERYTHING….. YOURSELF!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
