Re: crank shaft

[Ron Soave <redlotus@spacey.net>]

While I can't speak from race experience. the EN-16 I've got now came
out of a 100,000 mile engine that had a brief stint in the Atlantic
ocean before it ended up in my hands.  While the rest of the engine was
trashed (now rebuilt), the crank was in stunning condition.  I had it
taken .010 under because of 1 small scratch.  Otherwise it magnafluxed
fine, and was straight after what was probably a life of abuse.  It's in
a "warm" streetcar now, balanced and pulling close to 7,000 RPM
regularly.
