If the crank had been used in a racing engine you might find that the crank has been shortened about 1/8" and perhaps a similar amount is missing from the nut. This would be done so the center from a small diameter clutch pack will not touch the crank or nut.  
Sho' nuff', that's the answer, right there.
I compared it to a junk crank, and the machining is obvious once I knew what to look for.  I could switch it out to use the machined nut, but that would be sort of pointless.

Thanks, Lynn.
