Has anybody ever seen first-hand a crank bend from laying in a box on a shelf? Now to me it seems physically impossible that something that is built so strong can bend under it's own weight.Now if this were true how could you possibly ship one
I'm building a Chevy small block for my father-in-laws Vette and one his "buddies" tried to tell me not to use the crank he has becuse it's bent because it's been laying on a shelf for too long.
Now if this is true how long does it take for a crank to bend under it's own weight? One week, one hour, a year
Now most of us have purchased a brand new crank and it comes in a box that has probably been on a shelf for a while so are they all bent?
