Phoenix crank

[Steve Jones]

There can be, Dave, but it's more an issue with the outer dimensions of the centre camshaft bearing housing casting than the crank itself. It's always something worth checking when fitting a Phoenix crank or, indeed, any crank. I think I've had to take a touch off the casting once. In the case that you refer to could it be that the issues with the rear main have caused the crank to run out of line slightly? If so, might also explain the piston damage?
