That'll do. We hope

 

@wretched73 do you need to borrow the tool?

 

Sometime this summer, yes.

Did you weld the reluctor wheel too?

 

I did not. Shrink fit only. Paranoid about warpage lol

 

I am curious how the other wheel was bent. Are the bent spots inline with the welds?

 

I found a ding on one of the front counterweights that's axial to the bend; I think the crank was standing upright on the flywheel flange and fell over.

whether that happened at TSP or my shop here in NM, unknown. I never even opened the package; the package and block got dropped off and I picked up a 408 short block 3mo later

 

Well that sucks...

 

At least you found the issue. Better than going through all that just to not find anything wrong.

 

When you're ready let me know, you can use mine if you need it

 

fyp.....
