TT324? describes the crank run out check in response to excessive vibration.  If normal troubleshooting leads to a possible bad crank, then part of the troubleshooting is to check runout.  Why would the customer have to pay for the troubleshooting prescribed by HDs Tech Tip?  I offered to pay for the crank runout check before second head gasket was done because I knew I had an early motor and the chances were good the crank was bad.  Since the extra labor to check the run out once the top end was off it was an offer I made willingly.  HD customer service stepped up and agreed that it made sense to check runout while it was apart.  As it was, the runout was .020 and a new motor was ordered.

Phil, have you got a copy of TT324 you can post??
