I am now running an Austin crankshaft but not the original out of this engine. Both were last run in about 1967 and when I rebuilt the engine in about 1988 I took both cranks to David at Kirby Whiske for him to get the crank ground and rods remettled. David showed me how to dangle a crankshaft and tap it with a small hammer. The crank from my engine gave a very dull thud. The spare crank rang well.
The engine was started for the first time, this year.
