Got a crank that was reground from the machine shop. One journal IMO is way off. I was told it was .030 under. Yet there is a stamp on one of the counter weights .020. All are really close to each other.

Just wanting to make sure I have the right bearings before I drop it in to the engine to plastigauge it and open bearings that I may not need.

Never mind! Found some books and looks like the mains are OK rods are .060 under. So I think I paid for a POS that needs the journals welded and ground.

Gonna have to recheck my numbers.

Rechecked, the rods are .060. I don't think they make bearings that size.

Talk to Zilla or Doc they have both found them if I remember correctly. There was a discussion on this a couple of years ago. It might have been in one of the engine build threads???

Must have been Doug, I don't remember ever even looking for a .060 under bearing.

I am pretty sure a decent machine shop could find them though.

Rug, the crank in my good motor is a Car Quest reground kit. IIRC I paid around $200 for it and it has been indestructible.

When I took mine down to the shop they told me one main needed welding and reground as it was @ .060. Price was $70+$70 for the one journal. The rest would finish up @ .030. Luckily they had a crank that was not claimed for $70. Makes me mad that I drove 25 miles one way to get this.

They didn't do my head. I did have them do a friend's head. They guy that did the valves was a smart ass.

Personally, I wouldn't accept a .060 crank, unless I specified, that is what I wanted. That said, Sealed power engine parts catalog shows a .060 rod bearing 6-2375CA60 "unplated & resizeable". Main bearings 4092M only to .050. This is for the forged crank. The cast crank has rods and mains listed to .040 only.

Here is my measurements. I took 2 on each journal.

Mains Rods

1. 2.721 X 2 1. 2.129 X 2.1211"
2. " " " 2. 2.129 X 2
3. 2.7215 X 2 3. 2.1285 X 2.1830"
4. 2.721 X 2 4. 2.1270 X 2.1276"
5. 2.1285 X 2.1280"
6. 2.12875 X 2.129"

I don't know if these numbers are out of round too far?
