I bought a brand new Eagle crank and had to have it turned.




How long ago ?

Why didn't you just SCRAPE your bearings ? That seems to be the ACCEPTED practice for many ?? ... that was said sarcasticly ... ...

I bought an Eagle Blem for the EM470 project , got it from either Mancini or Muscle Motors , can't remember , it was cut .010/.010 to fix the wonderful Chinese finish SAND JOB. DRAM then cut it again to fit a 400 block AND increase the stroke , funny part is no scraping of bearings to make it fit ... something must be wrong ???


I bought that crank about 4 years ago and its still in the engine and doing fine now. When I took it out of the box I checked it and had .0007 taper and .0003 out of round on the worse rod journal and was way up on the high side of specs so I did not have enough oil clearance either.




you're way too picky , the king of the bearing scraping crowd would have called that good


I am very picky. I also ran a crank grinder every day for 12 years and I would have never let a crank leave my shop like that.
