spun a bearing and i will most likely have to micro p. the crank. im also getting new pistons and rods..... what determines the correct rod size to buy? im going to be 81.5 on a b18a block eagle rods and srp pistons 8.9:1

 

What ever block you have detemines the size. If you spun a bearing and the micro polishing can get it out, you will just need larger bearings on that journal. If they can't get it out may need new crank

 

 

Earl micropolishes cranks.

Give him a pm and he may be able to tell you more about what needs to be done.

 

cool. and hes so cal too right? thanks

 

Yeah Santa Ana (I think)

 

Micropolishing doesn't work that way. Earl will probably tell you to toss the crank and start over with a fresh one.

 

micro polishing only removes a "micro" amount. no need for larger bearings. if you need to get the crank ground then you will need oversized bearings.

micro polishing usually is not enough to repair a journal that had a bearing spin on it.

 

im no expert but it doesnt look severly damaged. i cant feel any gouges and whatnot. but then agin, maybe its beyond the scope of human senses that may affect the wear of the bearings/rod

 

Your best bet to get the final word would be to talk to Earl.

He is a really cool guy and will take time to answer your questions.

 

most def.... ever since ive been a member in 03(had to reg a new name) ive heard nothing but good things about that guy. will be givin him a call/pm shortley
