As mentioned in earlier post I have stripped down my TR engine, The new
liners and pistons are indeed A+E as suggested. The next question revolves
around the crank (pun intended) After inspecting the bearings I noticed the
big ends are 60thou. under and the mains 30 thou under. The journals
themselves were measured and confirmed these figures. The mains journals
are showing a raised wear ridge in the centre, which can be felt when you
run your finger across it. Am I right in thinking that this crank is scrap,
and likely to be ground beyond the case hardening?. What is the normal and
most cost effective solution here. Thanks in advance.
