[AT] .40 main bearings allis B

[john hall]

Good point! In that case the shop should only have to give a refund, not a 
replacement crank. Makes you wonder how bad the crank actually was. I would 
assume it was already ground to .020 and just in that bad of shape, or maybe 
it had spun a bearing?
Like you said, it was probably beyond use to start with.

Keep us posted as to how the story goes. There just might be a source out 
there for those bearings that only sells to machine shops.
