Big deal is the crank seal area--It is SMOOTH like they SHOULD BE!! I am done with the "hash mark--deep gouge"-BS on Eagles! No more Eagles in this shop with that mess back there--They need to SOBER UP!! and quit doing cranks that way like it is 1962.....I think they are idiots for keeping that up





I'm not 100% certian but I don't think the source cranks were originally a smooth seal surface and they were pretty rough to the point of eating seals ??? So if that's the case then there is a positive direction they went in.

Now the Eagle is a knurled surface ??? That's odd , I'm 99% sure the Eagle crank I have , circa 2003 , is a smooth seal surface , so that would be a step backward for Eagle ???
