Great, I'm f*cked...Threw a rod...(bearing)
Well guys, today I polished all the main and rod bearing journals, holy crap it took me forever, and to try and polish the main journals with the crank still installed is tricky! send a piece of emory cloth over, sand, then turn the crank a hair, sand again, turn the crank again, sand some more...yea, doing each one twice, first with 120 grit, then 200. using wd40 as a lube..they turned out okay I think....time to throw bearings in it now!
Here was the worst one, Number 1 rod journal, cleaned up good...
