The first eagle crank i purchased was 5-6 years ago, back then there wasnt vendor after vendor stocking cheap china Cranks. This crank was $900 and when we checked it, it had taper, out of round, and was at the highend of the tolerance scale. This would have put the rod bearing clearance near .001..So we decided to grind the crank and fix a few things at the same time.
This didnt make me all that happy, but i knew at this point it was right..That engine just currently gave up the ghost. But after 100's and 100's of passes in several diff vehicles, thousands of street miles accumulated when I had it. It has been serving its purpose between the rails of a Mud pit racer truck now for a few seasons. He split the block and trashed the entire engine.

Those cranks are tough. I once seized two rods smoking the bearings and rods..The crank was turned and run hard, this happened near the beginning of its life.
