EDIT: Its for sale https://maximumpsi.com/product/maximum-psi-keyed-crank-hub-kit/

I've read there is a pre-order, but I haven't seen much past that. So, I assume this is the end of the problem?

Doubt it's the end of the issue. Without the key on the hub being slightly shorter than the key way, forward to aft, you lose the clamping force all around the hub and now only have the cross sectional area of the key on each side to resist the torque. If they have a slightly shorter key than key way, forward to aft, they can keep all the clamping force of the normal assembly and add the strength the cross sectional area of the key on each side to its torque holding capability.

That’s all I know. I’m desperately waiting on this to complete my motor.

Okay, well if you hear anything report back here if you don't mind. I think its a wise upgrade for anyone with their engine out.

Hi guys, just chiming in with some info. There was no quality problem, just some unexpected delays. The vendor we use for the heat treating process had an equipment failure and dropped the ball on us. We got the parts back and got them to another company to finish the work. We shipped out a bunch of product yesterday and will ship out the remaining orders today. We have parts for S55, N55, and N54 ready to go.

What kind of heat treating is done? Did you guys cut up a sample or heat treat a sample to break to ensure the new place was able to meet your quality requirements?

The teeth are induction hardened, and the parts start from a high strength alloy steel to begin with. Yes, one part was cut up for testing/inspection after the heat treatment.
