I cracked my Eagle crank...

i've heard that even on the Eagle forged cranks, the journals all need to be mic'ed out, especially at the edges of the journals. something to do with the machining at the factory, the cutters get dull near each end of the journal, so that there are raised areas at each end.

in other words, when you get a new Eagle crank, it needs to be blueprint checked before installing.

Yeah the journals should be mic'd. I used an eagle forged crank in a 418 build a couple yrs. ago and it had quite a bit of journal taper. Had to send it out to be re-ground. For that matter if your building a high performance engine all parts should be checked over thoroughly no matter who's parts your using.
