    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

why index a crank

With a multi piece crank the crank throws need to be "indexed" to ensure thare are clocked correctly. 1 and 4 should line up and be exactly 180 degrees from 2 and 3 which should line up.
 
If the crank isn't indexed correctly, it will be out of balance. THAT is the biggest reason. When a roller bearing crank is out of balance it destroys stuff in a HURRY! Ray.
 
So basically if I am having Stan Gardner rebuilding, balancing and welding my crank, then indexing is part of it. It would need to be indexed in order for it to be balanced.

I was just wondering because falicon had it listed seperately as and extra item to the rebuild and balance.
 
Send the crank to Gardner & you will get HONESTY about your crank. I have had issues with Falicon telling me a crank needed lots of parts & was junk when I had gotten it back from them less than 3 months before! Stan is honest & fairly priced. He will only sell you what you NEED! And, YES, indexing is part of his rebuild. Ray
