B Boyd12 Active Member Oct 18, 2024 #1 I just got a 951crank rebuilt and the ring is bent. Has this happened to anyone else? What needs to be done to correct this? Thanks!

B Boyd12 Active Member Oct 18, 2024 #3 Thank you for responding. This shows it better, it is bent pretty bad. It is flush at the bottom. The case fits on it. How could this be missed by the rebuilder? I don't think the ring arrived in the package bent. Attachments Crank ring bent2.jpg 482.9 KB · Views: 4

mikidymac Moderator Staff member Moderator Oct 18, 2024 #6 If it fits into the grooves in the cases I wouldn't bother. All it does is hold some oil in the rear bearing.
