Default .0045" runout

2013 stage one Slim with 7900 miles, I bought it in April with 26 miles. Was thinking of a build that would put me around 105/115, just checked crank runout at .0045". Am I asking for trouble?

As long as you don't go Hog-*** wild with your build and you try to keep it around what you're reaching for in the 105/115 neighborhood that amount of run-out should be fine.

Probably not, but don't run gear drive cams.
