Thread: Crankshaft question

Tweet

i have a hard time thinking he took off 005 with a belt ? yes the crank needs to be check with a mic at 70 temp when checking it .cold iron or steel. metal. will not read the same . i check the crank before and when i polished it .some engine s you can get 001 bearings. were i want to see oil clearance may not be the same whats ok in the book sbc rods can be 001.5to 003 on the hi side . that may be fine for racing but i do not care much for them that big for stock every day use.

Can' t imagine a shop polishing a crank without checking it first.
Like Pat sez, .0015-.002 is best for everyday use. They'll "clearance" themselves plenty soon enough!

Thanks guys; I called back the shop that did it and they are going to take care of it. They agreed; they should have checked it even though the work ticket just said to polish it.
