Great info and great timing too. I've been eyeing up a used shorter stroke crank for a BMW project in the last week or so. The crank(s) will most likely come from a breakers yard, so now I know to ask them how it's been stored and get it checked for warpage before the return window closes. So yeah, thanks for that bit of knowledge 👍🏾
@@starfox_wr-45e93 no probs mate. Very easily overlooked and although it may “look” straight, it won’t be until it’s balanced or fitted inside the block that you realize it’s possibly warped. Alternatively, giving it to a machine shop prior is probably a better option. Definitely make sure bearings are correct along with conrod journals (ask me how I know 😂). Glad you find it helpful mate Tomo
@@Tomostuneups I literally just cross referenced all the bearings and Journal part numbers just now to check after watching the vid, yeah. 🤣But thanks for making those mistakes so we viewers don't have to. lol
