Mitch, I am a backyard mechanic, rebuilding my first Spitfire. If anyone, more experienced than I, can say drilling a 5/32 hole completely thru the center main journal and the front rod journal doesn't ruin a Spifire 1147 crankshaft, let me know. I have been wrong many times before. I think it will screw up the oiling and weaken the crank!
Jerry did let me know, he would refund my money, If I returned the crank. I called UPS and was quoted $29.40, to ship the $24.99, drilled for balancing purposes, crank back to the left coast.

I'm sure there will be a positive solution to it. I for one would like to mention that in my numerous dealings (ebay and direct) Jerry from Unionjacs has been a very "Stand up" kind of guy. I had the chance to meet him in person at the Laguna Seca raceway during the NASS West Coast Spit Together last month. And was impressed with his dedication to our hobby. He drives an early Spit in SCCA races, admits he isn't very good but has fun. Larry, I am in no way trying to downplay what has happened with your purchase. I just want to let folks know that Jerry is OK in my book before his business gets trashed on the newslist without himself getting to say a word. Mitch D.
