The machine shop performing the machining on my stude short block and crank called me this morning and gave the following comment on the qualilty of a Stude 289 crank I sent them out of a GT 289 engine. Said the crank quality was on the level of a Sonny Bryant racing crankshaft. Not bad feedback for an OEM forging.
This was the second crank I delivered to them. They rejected the first crank because it has been turned wrong on the rod radius journal by a previous machine shop many years back. Shows that all machine shops have different values on quality of the work so Beware!
