In regards to machinist issues, again I've never heard of that from an unbiased third party.

You are indeed correct, and I dont have the objective facts regarding any solution. My views are merely informed as mecheng with some experience in this field.
I do seem to remember that VTT did not provide any proof as to their success. ie I would expect them to show a pic of a "grabbed" crank that shows the scarring caused by the splines.
I have heard it is not a viable solution from various sources though.
EDIT: BTW you might be being a bit duplicitous, on the one hand you do not trust suppliers yet trust what VTT claim?
