I need to get some machining done for some of my engines soon and getting estimates. One place says they'll grind rods and mains to size for $100, another wants $200.

The $200 job is clean it, grind rods and mains to size with proper radius, chamfer oil holes, and polish.

I didn't get details from the guy that charges $100.

My feeling is the $200 quote is from a higher quality shop but I dont' know what's the going rate these days.

This would be for a stock forged 440 crank.

The latter shop also wants $45 to magnuflux the crank to check for cracks.



Thanks,
Jim
