Eagle Cast cranks - QA?
No, that is not part for the course. I square deck and align hone all my builds. I test every piston for deck height because I run tight quench in most of them. I've never seen one off more than .003 measuring that way and some of that could have been the rod lengths... But, that's by mocking up and measuring. If your guy put it in a crank grinder and checked it, my impression is there's more wrong with it than just indexing. Any chance of getting another one "down under"? I wouldnt want to have to turn it that far right off the bat. Seems some refund or repalcement is in order there.
