67/68/69 cuda dilemma

DartoS, I finally got a reply from my machinest on laying crankshaft down or standing em up for storage, and if they bend lying them down. As I figured its an old wives tale. Machine shops stand them up for storage to take up less space. My machinest has been doing this type of work for 40 years. He said if you have a crank that's bent from laying it down, then it's a junk casting or forging from the get go and should be scrapped. He has never, ever had any bent cranks from them being layed on their sides. Even ones that have been stored on their sides for years are just fine.
