If you're using BOP shaft saver, KnappAttack posted on how to get it centered and true so shaft spins concentric and doesn't cause tunnel to flex as it turns.

No. I'll do a search and find it.

Barn of Parts Driveshaft Saver....Bearing Lock
I had new shaft and new bearing snk bench tested exactly like bop did .001” difference in fit and started to lock down at 60lbs. I’m taking apart this weekend to see if spun give you updates. Any updates on this? Didn’t see any unless I missed it.

I run yhe BOP driveshaft saver but my rotor has always had lots of free play.Did you have a BOP driveshaft saver? Travis has a video on YouTube saying that you must not over tighten it because it can cause the rotor to not have free play which can cause tunnel flex.... Just a thought.

Free play of the disc does not dictate wether or not if the bearing tightened down on the shaft crooked. I’d bet with certainty you’ve been running a crooked bearing on the shaft and flexing the tunnel. Nothing else explains the crack you have. Flexing the tunnel with a crooked bearing would explain the cracking you have. When things flex they break, it’s that simple.
You need to make certain the bearing gets nomilized on the shaft to prevent flex. It needs rotated many revolutions as the wedge gets tightened up to prevent a crooked bearing on the shaft and this flexing. I also use a dial indicator to make certain it’s not crooked on the shaft and flexing the tunnel.
