 It's always good to subject a used crank to  magnaflux

Smitty says:  Good advise.  Always be suspect of a crank from a hi-milage
engine.  Have a suggestion though.  When you have it done, leave the gear
on it and have the technician ignore any readings caused by its presence.
 The kind of unknowledgible "machinists" there are around can screw up
the removal and replacement of the gear.
