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
