Oh dear, the crank is actually in the shop as we speak :-(

I though Hot Rods were decent? Has there been any horror stories about their rods?

Great info on the little end by the way, I'll get the RM250 needle and billet thrust washers.

Shall I search ebay for the washers or get them from someone on QRHQ? Bearing in mind I'm in the UK!

Thanks for your reply!
