Hey all, as you know, I'm building an engine right now for my Project
Olds. I got me a un- pleasent suprise call today from my engine guy.
Evidently, this engine in it's previous life spun 3 rod bearings to the
point of beng .080, .090, .100 out on the crank. Now, since this a
forged steel crank, he says he can weld some material to work with on
it. It just doesen't sound right to me for longevity and reliability
reasons. Should I let him do this for $150, or try to find another
crank, keep in mind this engine (330cui) was only produced from '64-'67,
but they all came with the steel crank and will run me about $350.
Thanks alot!!!!!!
