GET IT STRAIGHT
When balancing crankshafts, I feel I is imperative that the crank straightness be checked and corrected for before any balance work is done to ensure accuracy. I have an offset indicator that I’ve come up with that mounts right in the mill drill on the machine. If I need to straighten a crank, I do so and verify before setting up for balance.
