Since you have a lot of experience with these my question is do the crankshafts usually have problems or would it be safe to use them? Do they fit tight on the bearings and withstand stress as these have been around long enough to have been tested for the most part?
I'll put it this way... I have never had one single issue with a crankshaft. I had one melt down on me because of bad fuel, but that is not a reflection of an issue with quality of the shaft itself, it was a known fuel problem.
