So with a clearer head this morning here’s what’s up. The crank is marked as a 3.25 stroke crank but the box which was not opened and stapled shut has the correct part number. Now It’s not even the correct 3.25 because that crank should also have 2.100 journals. I just really hope I’m not gonna have to eat this....
So,I must've missed something. I thought you sent everything to the machine shop,why do you have the crank?
Well despite the cranks mess up I was able to accomplish something yesterday. I got all the file fit rings done and installed on the pistons. If I had a crank I’d be able to keep moving but that’s not happening right now. Hopefully I get some resolution tomorrow. Crossing my fingers for stellar customer service at eagle
Here’s an update if anyone is following along. I spoke with eagle and they didn’t even question the issue and said to send proof of purchase and they’ll balance and send a new crank and a return label for the bad one. Hopefully my machine shop has the bob weight recorded so I can get that for eagle to balance the crank.
I was anxious to see what would happen, I am glad to see they are fixing without issue
I got the impression they might know a few of these are floating around. He immediately said he’ll send a new balanced crank as I started telling him the issue. I was prepared to fight lol.
I believe i have found a tko 600 for 2k brand new in the box. Guy bought it for his project last year and changed plans or whatever. He's send more pics but i'm confirming part numbers etc...
Soo... roots blown engine built for boost with a dart block and a tko600....
When are you gonna feed the blower with a turbo. Now is the time to plan.
A single gt45 ebay turbo is dirt cheap. Or see if Mike wants to offload the one from his project.

I think he is trying to get you to buy a turbo while you are already in the middle of your build
Makes sense to me, and vote
Guy shipping me the TKO wanted to add some additional protection. I approve.
The crank saga continues....
Eagle called me. They were trying to not act like I was scamming them but said the date on the crank and box would make it such that a time machine would be needed to make the error. they also said there’s no way it was balanced with the bob weight I told them. They admitted to having boxed cranks wrong in the past but never a cast in a forged box... I was like what! He said we will take care of you but please call your balancer and make sure there wasn’t a mix up. Well I called and as I was telling him and I swear I could hear the blood drain out of his head. “Oh

Ya fortunately I’m in no hurry and am getting more patient the older I get. Everyone involved is being very accommodating.
