Herm was saying that if a Model A crankshaft is ground off center it would throw off timing gear mesh and crank centering or would this method compensate for that?

Steve, I think what he said was if the crank is "set off center".
As far as grinding off-center, I have a Storm Vulcan 15 grinder that uses centers. I indicate one end off of the surface under the crank gear, and the other off of the rear flange. If the crank is straight, it is difficult to be off if both ends are running true. A crank press is used to straighten one if it is out.
