Crankshaft .060 undersize - is it good idea?
I have .060 oversize rod and main bearings, and rusty crankshaft (2pc rear main seal).
Is it good idea to do that oversize or should I try to find new crankshaft in better shape? I'm going to put it in stock 350 engine for street using. The trouble is that I'm away from Unated States - from Russia, and I must wait a long time if I will order nominal crankshaft and bearings froms Summit, for example.
The second trouble is - here I can't do dynamic balance (it's possible, but it's VERY expencive - device for V8 engines is very rare).
May be the best way is order new nominal crankshaft - I think, it's balanced after production?
If no, give me a link for example, where I may find crankshaft ready to assembly "out of the box".
