Gach, straightness, taper of the journals and journal finish are all equally important. We wouldn’t attempt to grind a crank that wasn’t straight.

This is crazy don’t laugh, had someone who bought a set of Crower billet Rods, packs everything up and off to be balanced. $350.00 for balancing. You ready gets everything back from balance shop. Then looks at the rods and noticed 2 of them are physically bigger, so obvious that he picks up on it right away. You mean you never noticed it before you sent them out…LOL then goes back to balancing guy and he says oh yeah your right. LOL then confronts guy he bought them off and he says oh I don’t know my mechanic package them up.. to funny. Then I say dude why don’t you get your money back, he says oh but he give me a great deal..LOL. Ok Mamaluke. Toooo funny.

Some times we think we are being helpful, in these post, but a Mamaluke just don’t get it and gets all offended.
