Default Crankshaft Help
I have been on the search for a crankshaft to use. I think I may have found one but am very confused by what each measurement each on should be. Please tell me if these look good or not.

Pinion shaft TIR .0005" at main bearing diameter, .0015" at the cam plate bushing diameter, sprocket shaft .001" at the main bearing diameter, when measured over "V" blocks.
