supra mkiv Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 (edited) I have started to assemble my engine, but I've been a little unlucky. one of the connecting rods have been trapped by the crankshaft, and has made a mark on the crankshaft. it is about 3-5 mm long and can feel it with the nail. can i be so unlucky that it will injury the Rod Bearing or is that without significance. do not know how sensitive such a crank/rod bearing is Edited June 29, 2010 by supra mkiv (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 i wouldnt use a scored crank personally. you could buy a whole na engine cheap just for the crank . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 If it's minor get the journal polished, a good crank man will tell you if it needs grinding. Given the value of N/A engines I'd not regrind, just buy another crank / NA engine for the crank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra mkiv Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 I've got the crank polished, so the damage was not so big ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
