Hi Guys,I'm rebuilding my engine with forged parts right now.
Took it to the machine shop to have head work,cylinders bored,and balanced.
The machinist shows me some troubling surface scratches on the crankshaft and lets me know he would have to take .10 off to use it,then tells me i'll also need .25mm over main and rod bearings.
He is charging a modest $110 for the grind btw.
Would it be better to start looking for a used crank or will a mild grind be ok?
I found a few places that sell the clevite bearing sets .25 over for about the same price as the grind.
Any help from some of you guys with any experience on this matter would be much appreciated.
