bent crank ?

I have been reading Larry Shepard's book "How to Hot Rod Smallblock Mopars" and he mentions it in the book.

Never lay a crank down, stand it up on end when storing it.

That's one thing Larry Shepard got right. The rest of that book should be used to soak up spilled oil or to start a fire.

The chapter on cams actually mentions that a cam has 16 lobes and 5 journals. No ****, Larry? I couldn't count those myself.
