I bought a early cast Eagle crank from Indian Adventures back in the day. Gave it to Whitmore and the note on the crank when his crank guy balanced it was "Thrust VERY Rough". He polished it out but I never ran that crank.
A friend of mine bought one of them in the early 2000s with a "balanced" rotating assembly. Did the billet cap deal on a 400 block. It never made a good pass. It shook so bad he shut it down on the first attempted pass. In the pits he could barely turn it over.
He got out of racing after that.
