Bent crank?

[RITTER]

If there is movement up-down with the crankshaft, you have serious issues :idea: There has to be a clean section on the snout of the crank somewhere. Put your dial indicator there and try you test again. You don't have to have a perfect mounting point for your dial indicator. As long as your base is secure, your test will work. If you still think it's bent, take it to a machine shop and they can throw it on a machine and tell you right away 8)

That all you're going to say or are you going to follow your ignorant statement with a suggestion of what you think would cause movement on a dial indicator on the crank snout :|

I would suggest that you take the entire block and rotating assembly to a machine shop and have them check the block and the balance of the rotating assembly

Thanks for all your help guys. I checked the crank again and well i must've done something wrong the first time because this time I got .005 of runout. I'm going to have the crank checked out by my auto teacher since he's done this before, and if he tells me it's bad, I'm saving up for a 327 😀
