One rod journal question
My engine builder (reputable) called to tell me one of the four rod journals on my crank was previously turned down 30 thousandths, the rest still being stock size.
He said the limit is 40, and he would try to get them all the same at 40 thou. He sounded kind of concerned. Is this a big deal? |

Re: One rod journal question
On a stock T crank - .030 is maximum by most reputable crank grinder/engine builders.

Re: One rod journal question
I agree - .040 is getting thin. I'd look for a better crank you can have ground to .010 or .020 before the re-babbitting gets done.
