Crankshaft diamiter at crank gear

So I'm wonder what the demension is of the crankshaft where the crank gear is. I'm trying to degree the cam but can even get the damn gear on. I'm coming up with 1.384-1.385. And the gear is 1.381ish?

Nope this crankshaft was fat all the way around. I have 3 gears and they all fit a stock crank I have here in the garage. I may be pulling this thing out tonight and back to the grinders

Gone the crank gear and balancer?

How are they going to hone a 9 position gear? Would it no catch ?

If the snout is larger than it's suppoed to be, why not just hone the snout to the proper size?

I think machining the snout is what he means when he says, "back to the grinders".

Guessing so.  

Ohio crankshaft????

Yep. I got it in a trade deal and don't have anything in it for the most part. I will never recommend one to any one....
So is it possible to have a multiple position crank gear honed out?

I like a little press fit for the gear !heat the gear up with a heat gun and side it on ! all the Danny Bee the crank sprockets have a press fit

This can be adjusted with a bit of of polishing. You don't even need a big crankshaft grinding house to do it, it can even be done on a lathe with some emery cloth.

This is no different from, say, fitting a new piston ring into a bore, determining the end gap is too tight, and deciding it needs to be filed.

We were able to polish out the gear in order to make it fit and everything is good thanks guys

I had the exact same issue with a new Lunati crank a couple of months ago.
