Message	yep sure do... The crack originated on the other side of the journal...i couldn't get an image of it but you can make out on the damaged section shown here where the crack started. Wasn't anything anyone could of done. Just an unforeseen situation. The stock cranks are VERY robust in nature. My camera just can't focus in that close to show the hairline crack that you can see with the naked eye.
