So to make a painfully long story short and to the point, when I had my rotating assembly assembled the first time by the local machine shop they failed to square the billet main caps (by tapping forward and aft on the shaft) before tightening the studs. About 75 miles later the thrust went out and ruined my factory 87 crank. I replaced it with an aftermarket one and been good ever since. The damaged crank is still sitting on my bench and every time I enter the shop it mocks me because I was too busy to build my own engine the 1st time and that is what ruined it. Is it worth anything to have the stock crank repaired/welded and keep it? Or just make it a lamp by my kegerator.
