When I started the big inch flatty in my sedan with the new Volvo box, due to a tolerance stack error I burnt up the rear main and the crank thrust face. In this mini series of videos, I will attempt to weld up the damaged thrust face, and I will then build up a pair of bearings and machine them to suit the crank. Will it work? I honestly don't know, but I'm prepared to give it a go. In Part 1 I built up the crank with weld and turned it back to a flat surface. In Part 2 I built up the thrust surfaces on the rear main bearings and machine them to size. In this video I prepare a block ready to take the repaired crank. Follow along and see how it turns out.
