dropped crank

Hey guys, i was with my brother yesterday and we were test fitting my eagle rods after notching to make sure they were going to clear before the block goes out to get honed. Anyways, my dumbass was turning the motor over and didnt realize the crank was not being held down by anything. Anyways it fell off my motor,(which was on our stand) about a 3-3 1/2 foot drop and just landed flat, theres no visable damage to it or anything like that but will this cause any problems in the future? anything i should be worried about or am i just being paranoid, because this is my first turbo build and although i know there will be problems im trying to keep them to a minimum. Thanks!

I'd take it to a machine shop to be safe. It could have gotten bent and is not visible to the eye.

Its not hard to cause miniscule amounts of damage to the crank that wont be visable until you really test its strength in the motor. Machine shop is the way to go.
