Rod bearing question
Posted: Fri Nov 05, 2004 10:38 pm
Taking the crankshaft to the machine shop tomorrow for the regrind. This crankshaft came from a stuck engine, and there is a fair bit of out of round, cross taper, and general gouging and lines.
I've miked the main and rod journals, and while the mains will be fine at a .010" undergrind, one rod journal might be close. 010" under are the only rod bearings I have found so far. Looking for suggestions in case anyone knows of a source for .020" rod inserts. Otherwise, I'll have it ground to .010 under and take a look. I'd hate to have to spray it up to get to .010" under!
