I looked in my 81-84 book and there is nothing in there at all on crank twisting inspection.
This was from 78-80 Manual, but you get the idea. Also a link.

Cold, piece of cold rolled steel, a "Barney Rubble" small handle sledge hammer. In a V block jig.
And BAMM. BAMM. And a lot of patience!
And a piece of 17mm rod that is true and straight.

Or 18mm. rod for GPZ cranks. Mangus did a couple of cranks for me at his shop in Kenmore.A character for sure - the 2 stroke TF bike was a trip.
