Yank my crank
« on: June 03, 2010, 07:33:12 PM »
Now that I have the attention of the Vegas crew   >:D


I just acquired a 455 crank from QuickOlds (thank you very much).    I was always told to store a crankshaft standing up on one end.  Does it really hurt them to lay them down horizontally?  Even if it was just for a few days/weeks?   In my garage I think it might be safer that way, as my grommets don't ever watch what they are doing.   They are the original "bulls in a china shop".    All input is greatly appreciated.

Stand it up on the water heater pedestal and ratchet strap it to the water heater. If the grommets can knock all THAT over, I wouldn't EVER mess with them......... ;)

Taco'd "a person or people that show up with one lake lice and a family of 50 and cram 3 people at a time on it with no disregard to boating rules or ethics. Usualy crap in toilets and throw shit paper in trash cans. Hang out at the boat ramp like its a swimming hole. Have zero insurance on anything they own and dont give two shits less about your property."

Ray, I like your thinking.
  Not sure about the water heater due to space, but I am sure I have a 4x4 leg of some pretty buff shelves that I could use.  Thanks  :thumbup:
