Dumb question... +/- .015 on crankshaft

Adjusting stroke will not correct index. To fix index try to find a grinder, machine, with new or rebuilt chucks that has index stops at 90*. After its index always check TDC and zero on damper. Rolling the crank to get it to "clean up" @ .020" under while stroking it .014" will some time change the relationship between the two. To check quick index #1 and #6 should arrive at TDC at the same time using two dial indicators.

We use to grind cranks for Kuntz & Craft years ago. In fact we have lost to a 428 heads up with a crank we stoked and indexed for Jim and Keith.
