Hey Wm,
Well, that is interesting. Enough so, that I might call him. I did not examine that yellow paint on crank closely enough to come up with that name. Has that been a standard marking system for them, if you know
If true, that might explain the skinny radius. On the other hand, he would know about the bearing shells used, if his work, and that would be good...thanks. But, he/they may know nothing, but sold the old man the crank. Not too long ago, I contacted him about a marked cam, that I got(have now) from a guy who bought it from them. I called up the business and he told me that he hasn't made a cam like that for years. True, the guy who I got it from, bought it in 80s. Maybe just let that sleeping dog stay sleeping,eh
!
Ya know that life IS strange. Yesterday, I visited a guy who volunteered to test a part for me. While there, two other guys showed. We talked A/B engine, cars, etc... One of these two guys was helping us pressure check parts....and stated that he has taken his newly rebuilt B engine back there two/three times for rework, bummer. He gave up on that B and is now looking for another for his roadster. What a coincidence, hm.
