Thank you! I tryed to tell them this for years.
(Per Journal)
Welding time. 10-15mins.
Rough griding. 10-15mins.
Filling pit holes missed by welder. 5-10mins
Rough grinding #2. 4-5mins
Dressing oil holes. 2-4mins.
Redressing radius and wheel 5-10mins
Finish grinding.2-3mins.
Checking for size/taper/side clearance/s. 2-3mins
Now you have 40-60mins of labor for one common 350 cast crank journal. It just anit worth it.
Plus the warrenty problems. JUST ANIT WORTH IT?
