Leland and Brit. Crankshaft Question...

[Metwrench@aol.com]

Hi Gang,

Have any of you had a crank ground down ? Has the machine shop told you that
after is was ground that it would have to be hardened ?

I have my 80 Spitfire crank being done. I have to go .0010" under which means
grinding. They told me that MG and Triumph cranks are only case hardened, so
I would have to Nitrate (harden) the crank.....$250.00 to do it. 

I could take a 50/50 chance on non hardening , but no warranty. 

Any advice group? or stories on this?
