I appreciate what your saying and I did ask for feedback and welcome all of it. I always try to do the best research I can before deciding on things like this. In this case before I bought the crank and had everything back and balanced from the machine shop and going into the engine I didn't come across the old posts talking about issues with the crank. At the time I purchased it I actually was looking for the Scat crank and was having trouble finding it not in a spinning assembly kit. I wasn't using a kit because I could not find one with the pistons I wanted.
I can only hope the metallurgy or whatever issues they had have been addressed. B3's post certainly offers some comfort.
So if I had come across those posts earlier on they would not have given me warm and fuzzys and I would not have ordered it. I don't see me tearing the engine down though based on a possible issues with a cast crank.
At this point need to dance with the one who brung you and hope she is a better dance partner then she has been for some others.
