Speaking of trusted shops???

check out the pictures. I had this crank checked 600 miles ago for trueness. I was told it was max .001 runnout. NOt good. service limit is .004
I have always preferred doing my own work cuz of problems when I get stuff back. I bought a dial gauge and checked this myself.

Ditto I would rather try it 3 or 4 times rather than pay someone to do it wrong once.

You used the words "trust" and "shop' in the same sentence? I've never heard of such a thing...

Of course, I have no idea about your current situation -- I don't know if something could have or did happen to your crank after installation or if it must have been that way when the shop got done.

There are still a few things you just can't do at home, like most machine shop work, unfortunately. Most shops still don't seem to realize or care that they're working on virtually irreplaceable components.

My next plan is a mill/lathe and a mig welder
