BRENT in 10-uh-C,
Thanks for that information. I did not think of, nor did I realize I would be compromising the hardness of the crank. I'll check with the person that did the Babbitt and see what composition he used. I doubt the crank grinder did anything to re-harden the crank. Although the crank journals were flawless with good radius in the corners. Worst case I tear down the motor to have the crank Nitrided as you suggest.
Regards, Brian
