It seems to be turning fine but it's cutting it really close. Kinda bummed but maybe it will work out.

Sorry for making this about me, I'm just bummed because I want to ride my bike. Anyways, if he is using the original BB and a track specific crank won't there be a chainline issue?
I usually just throw whatever crank/bb I have on and deal with the chainline by respacing/dishing the rear wheel. I just find it way easier that way in the end.
