Wow.. I didnt expect this thread would become a China bashing thread...

When I went crank shopping about 2 years ago, I could have sworn Ohio Cranks had a "Made in the USA" notice posted.. In addition to that, I've spoken with Cab and (at that time) he confirmed the information he had was that they were made in USA also..

Then there was a few reports that the steel came from China and the inspection and machining was done here... Regardless, I never once heard bad things about Ohio Cranks... So I bought one and outside of a minor difference at the snout, the crank seemed to have checked out with my machine shop at the time..

Since then... today actually, my new engine builder said I have a step in the journals that would not polish out.. so he will have to turn it... When doing research on the castng number, he discovered it was made by Bridgeway, which prompted me to ask if anyone has ever heard of them...

Here's to hoping I have a good solid crank and it wont melt like butter during the machine work...
