Just had my 330 crank machined this week. Awesome job and I'll be running the National PB656HD bushing.

I noticed that on the edge of the inner hole has marks that are slanted, would you explain why you went about doing that? thanks

I didn't request it, the machine shop did it on their own, Help to lock the bushing.

I am having my crank machined for the bca 7109 machinest said he could add the snap ring groove no problem if that is what i wanted.I believe tremec sent me the chevy bushing but i opted for the oem bearing.
