Posted above, Jerry, before you can finish your cup of coffee....

Thanks Pat, Jerry/RSpears for the visual(s) it does help to explain the issue(s).

blower cranks many times do not drill #1 pin makes the crank stronger when driving the blower i was busy today at the shop .i will snap some photos of some gun drilled cranks and the ford stuff were the hole in pin end as better then 1 inch . many times 1and4 are only drilled all can be drilled like jerry said most of the 8 plate stuff all pins are drilled or can be

The owner took the crank this morning... I believe he is going to use it to beat a machinist to death.. greedy bstd didnt want me to go help.. either that or he didnt want witnesses.. I'll try to get pics when I get it back.... not sure whats going to happen, but I am sure its not going to be very pretty...
the sad part is that it came second hand.. he BOUGHT it this way, so I am not sure what recourse he has... we know who did it, and have the receipt, but the job was done for the person he purchased it from... Nice guy that he was.. we were told he couldnt make it run right...
REALLY!!!!????
So I do believe that if the machinist wont own up he may go after the seller.. Me??? I am holding a big stick and waiting for my name to be called... But I will try to get pics... the previous pics pretty much tell the tale.. looking into the hole you can JUST barely see the hole, it isnt large, and its easy to miss, but it is most assuredly there as the blow gun proved beyond any doubt....

here are some cranks if you guys wanted to see more of this stuff the crank with the big holes in the pins is a ford 302 .3.400 a sbc 2.100 rods. the bbc 8 plate all pins drill very hi HP crank . this crank had to much counter weight. they have been drilled and then are capped and welded as the holes in the counter weight are to get the weight down were i need it. the caps keeps oil out of the counter weights then getting slinged out at RPM .the 351w 4.000 is gun drilled with sbc 2.100 rods can see were they nip # 1 and drilled it to get the weight up on the counter weight and pin holes drilled .see if i can get them on here
