Must vent. So apologies if this is a little pointless rant but ##&*&@*!!!! Today I finally get some time to start the assembly of my MGA 1600 Mk1 motor. I've installed the core plugs, inserted new pl

In all fairness to the shop, I would guess they did all of their measuring to parts off the engine. I'm not sure how a crank is balanced, but I doubt if you can balance it while it is in the engine.

I bought the crank from a supplier recommended by the machine shop. The supplier has over 30yrs experience in these things and is a reknowned vintage race car builder. I simply drove the crank from

There is a difference between the two cranks, and I think you are right--the machinist should have checked at some point. The problem is that if the engine is received in pieces or comes with owner-
