i ask my machine shop that question about 15 years ago. they laughed at me and asked me if my car had muffler barrings. they had me look out back and they had a skid of crankshafts tossed on a pallet and said they were seasoning them and after being outside for a couple months and piled up on top of each other they will be fine. he said they will bring them in and rework them but said that they don't bend from laying down.

One of the coolest crank storage system's I've ever seen was a series of racks under the workbench, where the cranks were hung from the rear flange, sort of like wine glasses.

Just my opinon....I state that the myth of cranks bending while stored laying down is a result of cranks being set on end then falling over. When found some assume it was because they were stored horizontal.

So the conclusion that laying them on their sides warps them is a myth right? I have the forged steel crank for the 455 I am building for the 48 standing on is end just in case Its to expensive to mess with
