Charlie did one for me, and I haven't used it yet, but it sure is pretty. :) I had it back in my shop in a week from the time it left.

I'm collecting cranks-Porschedave just did one for me, and I'm doing one more if I can get the cylinders off the one I'm working on now.

Before.....
Attachment:
old h1 med.jpg

After with ultrasonic cleaning, new weight matched Vesrah rods (rod, big end bearing, small end bearing, crank pin and thrust washers), Koyo bearings and "Made in the USA" CNC machined lab seals! This one trued to less than .0006". Usually they are true to within .001". This one was exceptional.

$775.00 was the total cost if you were wondering....

If your rods are good you are looking at $495.00 with Koyo bearings and free shipping.

:D

Rarely does a shaft completely zero out. This one did. Usually they are under .001", but this was exceptional! I have a short clip but I don't think this site will accept the file. This particular rebuild cost the customer $380.00. That included the shipping.

If your rods are good and you opt for standard grade bearings you are looking at $350.00.

:D


Great info, thank you!

Here are two links to youtube. They are only seconds long but show the needed information. Short and to the point. This is my first youtube post, so forgive my novice approach.
