Default Re: Gravity bends a crank?

Uncle max, The coefficient of thermal expansion of steel is such that unless the extreme temperature is sustained, thereby not permitting the crank to return to its nominal size, the distortion will remain. At least that's my view.
Think of a rail road track expanding during summer and contracting during winter.
I just realized you are joking?
