I pulled the crankshaft out of my spare engine today. I continue to be unimpressed with the shape of the spare engine. Thankfully the old engine was overhauled, hopefully I won't need the spare block. The price was right and I'm learning a heap.
Not much experience with bearings, but the copper look doesn't seem good. It almost, but not quite, gives me the impression that a bearing spun on cylinder #1.
I seem to remember seeing a GM 044 marking on the back of one of the rod bearings. I didn't pop out any of the mains. What do I look for to figure out if the crank's been ground already?
Main Cap Bearings
Rod Cap Bearings
Block Bearings
