LA 360 - 0.030" Undersize Main Bearing Clearance Questions

Dan the man said
I'd probably get a new crankshaft, you can get one for $400. You already stated that you had trouble with finding 0.030" bearing as it is. I think that your going through a whole lot of un needed hassle. I'm sure that you had your machine shop check out the main bore alignment. Myself as soon as I saw that the crankshaft was cut down that far I would have trashed it.

Nothing wrong with a .030 under bearing as long as the clearance is correct.

You’d throw **** away real engine builders would use.

You do realize some guys turn Chrysler rod throws down from a hefty and stupid 2.75 journal (unless you are burning fuel) to 2.200 don’t you?

That’s a .175 UNDERSIZE.
