Stop in for a cup of coffee

I need to do a ton of back reading that I probably won't do.

I got home from work, long day, long week. 60 hour week.

Then I just had dinner. Cinnamon toast crunch, so yummy.

Now I am going to surf fabo and do nothing and go nowhere and be happy :)

Hey Rain
You were chatting with @RustyRatRod a little while back about cleaning up one of your 318 crankshafts for the engine you are putting together, (or taking it to a shop to have it done).

Here is something you can do for yourself on getting that crankshaft ready for use.

If it has some rust on it you can soak it in 6% cleaning vinegar, then polish it up with some emery cloth, scotch brite pads, and finish out the journals with some Crocus Cloth for a nice final finsh on the bearing surfaces. Stay off the knurling swipes at the rear main seal area, they are there to push oil back into the engine from the rotation they are turning.

Here you go as follows:

Used Crank to start with . .

Clean any big chunks off and degrease, then into the vinegar solution over night.

.010/.010 used crank

3 step polish, and you are all done, ready to install.

That was a lot of fun doing that one. A guy had that one sitting around when I went to pick up an 8 3/4 housing, he gave it to me for free to get it out of his space. 360 External Balance cast crank, as I was cleaning it up found out it was a .010/.010 turned out to be a really great crank.
