There's nothing wrong with a crank laying on its side. Think about it. The crank must withstand considerable force pounding on it in the engine. It doesn't bend. The force of gravity isn't going to bend it. The only reason to stand a crank on its end for storage is that it takes up much less room that way, in most instances. The factory boxes replacements cranks in cardboard boxes, stores them in the warehouse or parts department laying on their side, and ships them that way. If your worried about the crank, have a crank shop spin it and check for straightness. If it's out, it can be easily straightened. Milton Schick 1964 442 Cutlass [EMAIL PROTECTED]
