Simple, More runout means that the crankshaft is bent more. Bent
more means it is more likely to be cracked and the prop fly off some
day.

White Industries lists engines with flange runout. What does flange
runout tell about the engine?

It seems some prop strike engines have a larger flange runout reading
than others, and the larger the flange runout, the lower the price.
Why?

Thanks.
