Simple
Everyone wants to play Mr Patriot and shitt all over the Chinese parts and thats fine. I think it sucks, too. But at the same time, people are blowing up 8.75 rears because they dont want to spend a few extra dollars on a Dana.
My only point is that I wont even take one of these cranks out of the box without first sending it to my crank guy. It's fine. The few extra $$ added on to the price is more than worth it to the customer to get it as good as it can be. Some(few) are perfect, and that is great. And let's face it, the average bread and butter 600 horse stroker build doesn't need a premium crank. Unfortunately we don't have an option of a US made and machined entry level product.
So Quick77, it seems like we are on the same page, no? Sorry to the OP for his trouble. It's never fun when it turns out that way.

For me in my build I wanted some extra cubes for
torque so I went with this 4" MP crank... being I
was a Chrysler employee I got a super buy on it...
once its corrected I'm sure it will be fine for my
SB... I'm only going to make about 550 hp... but I
did spent the savings getting it fixed
