CRANK STROKE CHECK
I have a quick and easy way to check or measure the stroke of a crankshaft. I put the crank on some V-blocks on the vertical mill table. I chuck up a BB Chev fuel pump pushrod or any similar round stock in a drill chuck. Position the rod throw pointing up and come down onto the journal with the round stock. Zero your Digital Read Out (DRO) for Z. Rotate the crankshaft 180 degrees and come down onto journal again. The reading on your DRO will be the stroke of your crankshaft for that journal!
