One more thing, if this is the Bobby I have heard of ,you better mark
your crank in a discreet place because he has been known to swap
customers good cranks for ones he has laying around that are of "lesser
quality". That way he can resell your good one and make a nice profit
and you get back a P.O.S.....

I said I was going back to lurking, but I am coming back to this slop
trough for one more post.

I've watched this group for over ten years and occassionally have seen a
contributor who is sharp and experienced in their field and is willing to
relate their knowledge. Its like finding a diamond's in a goat's butt.
Other times though I just find a goat's butt.

This thread started out about some guy writing about franklin engine
vibration and crankshaft balance. I joined in to offer my opinion from my
18 or so years experience in the field.
And I get bashed for being FAA certified.
Then I infer I was could bring to this thread the experience of a
nationally known and well-respected firm who actually does the work on the
said type of crankshaft and connecting rods.
And somebody says the firm is a crook and rips off their customers.

The firm I am talking about has been in the business for close to 30
years and is still thriving and expanding. My business is thriving
too. You don't achieve that by ripping people off.

Parts trading is well known trick in in many fields. And savy people know
it.
And anyone savy knows aircraft cranks have discreet marks to begin with.

Whoever the Bobby you're thinking of must be some p.o.s working in the auto
shop in Jackson.

I could care less
