Default Bent crank

There used to be a guy on RCU that would straighten bent crankshafts. I thought it might have been Flyboydave. I PM'd him but got no response.
Must be someone else?

Thanks, Tony

I haven't seen FBD on here in quite awhile. It may very well have been him, but he's MIA I guess. Not sure who else does it - sorry I'm not much help.

Ralph Cunningham use to straighten cranks. Not sure if he is still doing it.

There's a few contacts in this thread.

Thanks, Tony
There is another recent thread on bent cranks here on RCU, however it was specific to a pair of G38 engines. Perhaps a search on RCU with the title "bent cranks" will bring it up as well as others on the subject, with suggestions for someone to fix the problem. Good luck.

That's the link I posted. Just click on Bent G38 Cranks. The url should take you to that thread.

Dave is also into Ham radio big time too, along with shooting as a hobby.
