Its sounds to me you have a 50/50 chance at getting a crank that doesnt need machining. Dont want to spend $800 on a crank and have to take it to a machine shop to make it right. Any where from .0005 difference from one journal to next to having too tight clearance and having to have some taken off. .003 difference in lenght of rods. Some get a perfect crank and some dont. Its probably what i will end up with since i cant afford any thing better to be honest. I had problems like that with eagle and thought i could get away from all the extra machining.
