Want to Talk to Experienced Engine Rebuilder

Posted by moonlite on November 23, 2003 at 16:18:40 from (64.82.207.59):

I have rebuilt a good many engines but have always heard that a crankshaft for long reliable service should not be ground more than .020. I wonder why this is. I am sure that many engines of similar size, speed, and performance may have much larger or smaller jouraal sizes so it must not be that the smaller journal could not stand the strain. Could it be that the crank journals have a harder material on the immediate bearing surfaces. I would like to hear from an expert.
