When you pull your damper to change the timing chains (I trashed the stock ones in one season), slide the TG off and dye penetrant the inboard crank surface where the TG has worn/compressed the shaft case hardening.Make this official. The day my crank snout snaps I'll buy everyone who has posted in this thread a case of their finest beer. 2-step check, 750+whp check, 7,500+rpm check, massive blower pulley hanging off the balancer check, over tension the blower belt check.
A dealership, and most "Mustang shops" are very unlikely IMO to take the proper steps.
Don't measure interference fit? FAIL
Don't measure seat depth? FAIL
Don't use proper install tool? FAIL
Don't torque the crank bolt properly? FAIL
Re-use the stock crank bolt? FAIL
Don't put anti-seize on the snout? FAIL
Used heat on the hub to go on "easier"? FAIL
Grab a loupe and a good light.
I would expect damage on the crank surface.
