Just out of curiosity: how did you store this crank while it was out of the engine? As in: lying on it's side or on end or hanging with wire or how??? Just wondering....that is all.
The mask and the shot(s) are actually an IQ test. If you are wearing or circulating, you just failed the test. I can't feel sorry for you.

do you have a dial gauge? i would set the crank up with a dial gauge and rotate slowly to check the straightness... as said before is sounds like a warpage or bent crank.. (altho odd if you stored vertically) i've only know cranks to bend laying down..
