Tried to post a video of my crank run-out check but Photobucket determined otherwise, but here is the result:
Result is at the max that I had thought acceptable. Will be looking at some other indicators before I make my final decision. Any words of wisdom, or request for more info - let me hear it. No hiding it, I was hoping for better

When I rotate the rear tire(6th gear) to find TDC and doing the Crank run-out check I notice it gets real difficult to rotate the tire then easy then real hard again - need both hands pretty much at the hard points - is this normal, never notice anybody struggle on the FM and S&S videos?

Was planning on sticking with OEM, good to know.

I will say that with my old crank at .004 at 118k my OEM pinion bushing was toast. In the long run .006 will create wear. Not a big deal now but be aware.
