And to follow up on that last sentence, the crank you got with your project may be suspect, especially if it's a cheap cast crank, or a reground stocker. If you've ever seen a 4340 Scat crank (which is the basis for the GPASC, and maybe the Revmaster), the fillet radii are very nice, as is the workmanship. VWs broke a lot of cranks in the early days, and the Revmaster (who was probably first to do it) and GPASC hubs, paired with very robust cranks, pretty much put an end to it. I'm sure you know all of this....just mentioning it for any of the newbies on the list. The Corvair folks have now learned the very same lesson, and 4340 cranks and a front bearing solution have now pretty much ended broken cranks on Corvairs as well.
