Crankshaft machinist recommendations

[Modelacoupe3]

Looking for a reputable machinist who can evaluate and properly machine the crankshaft from my 53,000 original mile Model A engine. Most important, I'm looking for someone who will keep the centerline within Ford Specs and maintain the correct radius. All journals are currently standard. One rod journal has slight damage from a bearing failure.
If possible, I would like to find someone near me (Torrance, California). If necessary, I will drive or ship the crank.
Thank you,
Scott

My machinest, Vern at Arnold Motor in Fort Doge, Iowa.

If you want it better then Fords.

800-765-2926

If you can find something wrong with it, I will pay for the job, and shipping.

Thank you Herm, I will give them a call. BTW, that's quite an endorsement.

I use castillo's in La Mirada 714 523 0321 Talk to Joe if you can. There is also a shop in Escondido that does babbit and could probably hook you up with who ever does their grinding.

I know you want someone on the West Coast, but if you have trouble finding him, John or Mike at J&M Machine in Southboro, MA can help you out. Good Luck!

I second Castillo. Never heard anything bad from them.
