Well, go to see that guy an hour away ... although someone like Scott@Hillside will give you whatever figures you want, guaranteed.

What's your working estimate at present? How does it break down?

Not doing the stroker this time, going to keep it stock in that area. I appreciate all your comments, keep'em coming. Thanks again.

No, he's really Pastor Kevin Myers, and the leader of the #1 fastest growing church in America.

I actually thought he was a comedian, but it turns out he is being absolutely sincere (he's even opened the House of Representatives in prayer).

I often cannot tell the difference between the two but I think Pastors, in general, need to be able to keep a straight face for longer.

BTW, if you follow the link, you'll see more videos of Kevin Baxter.

He sure has a nice, clean and well equiped shop and is doing serious work.

I guess no one here has used Revolution Performance for their crankshaft services, I'll keep looking.

On an Evo crank the 'who' is not really the issue. It's the what.

It's only two nuts and three pieces, so the price and "show me" is what you to be concerned about. That is, get them to tell you what spec they work to, and show you how much runout it has before you leave the shop.

As a rule, you want better than factory tolerances.

I forget, where are you in all this ... are you looking to send someone your whole short block? Any luck speaking to the others?

I'm in Douglasville, Ga. about 30 minutes east of Alabama. I haven't called anyone yet, gonna start now that all the holidays are over. It would be nice if I could find a place that I could send my lower end off to and have them do it. If it happens that I have to do the case splitting then I'll do it. I got 38,000 miles on it , the last few days I been thinking the hell with the vibration and just do the top end. Other than the rear cyl burning some oil it runs great.

Gonna start with Doc Slick and Hillside and see what they say. The guy at Pro Perfomance looks like he deals with twin cam cranks, doesn't really talk about evos. Also looked at T-man for his head and cylinder work, he dont mention evo cranks either.
