Default 2003 Deuce crankshaft issues

how did this happen to me i thought only 96ci twincams had run out issues!but anyway here is my story.took my deuce in to have it upgraded to the SE hydraulic cam plate/oil pump mechanic calls says no dice come down here and talk to me.my crankshaft had .032 runout in it oil pump chewed up cam plate bushing chewed up.so after a long talk and looking at prices we went with the SE stroker crank S&S 510 cams of corse the SE hydraulic cam plate oil pump set up,i did luck up i got a brand new set of 96ci pistons for free a customer came in for a rebuild and after ordering the parts decided to go to a 103 told the indy mechanic he could just keep the 96 pistons and rings.they were nice and gave me the pistons at no charge since they had nothing in them.i got 350 miles on the new engine so far when i hit the 1000 mile mark its going back for a thunder slide kit and dyno tune
