RPM that supplies cranks is not related to Robert Pond. The crank supplier is RPMmax and are Chinese parts. Often relabeled and sold as house brands. They had a forged FE crank before Scat did - we usually have to touch grind them, and always inspect them very carefully.

The only place I have seen a bushing problem mentioned was here on this forum. Never had one myself - at least not yet - so I suspect the issue was with a short run of parts that drifted out of spec.

We find ourselves tweaking flywheels just a bit on the ID pretty often. The OE ones always fit OK so I think the problem is in the flywheel more than the cranks. Likely one going to the high ranges of spec and the other going to the low range.
