As hard as we try to check everything on every part that we get a few things do get by every now and then. Since we do not make all of the parts this happens from time to time. Also we are not dealing with a 80,000.00 NASCAR engine nor are we paying for one. The best fix for this is the one that Tom at Kirkham recommended and works just as well as a new crank install and maybe better. I have had them come a little small and a little large. Since this has come to light we have been checking all of the crankshafts the best we can and have let Eagle know about it. The fix is pretty easy. We turn down the bushing and press a sleeve on to it then the bushing hasd a press fit. Not really a big deal in the scope of the complete car build. If this is all we ran into with a complete car build it would not be to bad. Just let us know if we need to do a bushing for you. Thanks, Keith Craft
