I guess the unfortunate person you sold it to will eventually appear on the boards here.

Anyhow, good to hear you finally washed your hands of the product of unfortunate series of events and it was furthermore a lesson to many others, thanks for taking the time to inform

Happy Thanksgiving

just because a crankshaft is fitted with an oversized bearing (undersized rod throw) doesnt mean it isnt going to last. If mitsu sells oversized bearings, why in the world would they advise against you using them in the FSM?? Because they want you to buy a brand new 700 bean crank thats why. If the throws were undersized, and the bearings are oversized correspondingly, then there is no reason for premature failure.
