YES, not funny but lots of guys have come up snafu when the big box arrives, the vendor never did an actual mock-up before balancing the parts and you own them. mfg'rs change specs all the time, the same crank PN that the kit vendor ordered for the last 7 years may not be the same crank tomorrow ... happens a lot

lately, counterweights & snout dimensions change back & forth on a daily basis

who you buy from makes a big difference, the kit must be guaranteed complete & compatible, no "oh you just need this & that" during attempted assembly. we recently just had an issue with a crank thrust journal that was cut as an early prototype SVO / Cleveland mains retrofit deal, that special bearing & all evidence of its' existence has dropped off the face of the earth. nice crank Confused
