Out of engine and still in an engine, maybe even still in the car? Thanks and sorry for the stoopid post. Thanks- the pics are great! Last edited by 66coronet500; 04/02/13 08:11 PM.

If not, then it's either a cast crank or a bad forged one. They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.
