List,

While at the machine shop today saw an article on 1275 cranks which claimed 
that these cranks had to much weight around the journal center lines.  That 
this extra weight caused uneven bearing wear.  It was interesting because 
they pictures of this wear was a very good match to the odd wear patterns on 
the bearing that we just removed.  The suggested solution was to remove 
counter weight material near the journals yielding a more triangular shaped 
counter weight.   Anyone heard of this or tried it??
