Rod journals take a lot more abuse than the mains and .0015 out of round is inviting trouble.

theakerstwo Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 And if it has spun a brg good chance the crank is cracked or too soft. The mechanic will check for cracks and the hardness before they grind. Quote glenn akers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
