JD - heads stacked like cord wood is a good description of one section of my shop!
I heard back from the crank grinder today - he said that both of the cranks that I gave him had soft bearing journals (Rockwell 20) and he said that they liked to see journal surfaces closer to Rockwell 50 - 55.
He said that it appeared that the rod journals had been damaged due to a spun bearing and excessive heat after already having been ground once before.
Is this something that anyone here is familiar with? I have had a couple of people tell me before I took the crank in that the journals are surface hardened and that if I go to much undersize that I will lose the harness.
I'd be interested in your thoughts on this.
