Well guys, I took my crankshaft to a shop far, far away in the sticks. There is no where immediately around me that grinds and polishes cranks, but I found one about 45 minutes away. It appears that this crankshaft has been ground already. It was ground .010" under standard. The shop told me they will be grinding it .030" under. I have to call them back in the morning because I don't know why they're skipping the .020" under size? I'd rather they take less off than more.
Does anyone here know why they would skip right to .030 under from .010 under? I'm sure none of the scratches are bad enough to where they have to skip directly to .030 and over the intermediate .020 step.
On a more positive note, I supposedly located the correct combination u-joint and ordered it after none of the local parts stores could help me. I also received my order from ames today!
I'm excited to get the engine back together, cleaned, and get this metallic blue sprayed on it!
