Hi All
Just to give you the background, the existing block I am running is weak. Therefore, I got a seperate engine as backup since I anticipate that existing crank would be spinning bearing soon.
Following are the crank pics (Rod only)
Following are the rod bearing pics
Judging from the pictures, I think the crank is faily in good conidtion, perhaps needs polish. I cannot feel any scratch on the crank with my finger nail.
However, I am a bit doubtful with the bearings. I think I have the following options -
a) Torque everything back to specifications and run this block as it is
b) Get new OEM bearings, polish the crank and run the block
c) Get after market bearings, polish the crank and run the block
I need advice on how to proceed and what would give me peace of mind as far as bearing reliability goes.
Thanks!
