Crankshaft question
I just got my crank bask from being polished. It looked fine when I took it in and the guy who polished it said he didn't mic it; he just cleaned it up. The specs call for 3" on the mains and 2.4988-2.4998 on the rods. I checked all the journals with my dial indicator and here's what i got:
Mains: Rods:
1) 2.998 1) 2.4982
2) 2.998 2) 2.4992
3) 2.996 3) 2.4980
4) 2.995 4) 2.4980
5) 2.996
What do you think? Is this too far out of tolerance to use standard bearings?
The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
How did you get hooked on cars?
