Thanks, Paul,
I read that before the rebuild 11,000 miles ago, and again about 3 times
during this episode. Very interesting & challenging.
We delivered the crank to Cassidy Machine & Engines in Macon today. Very
impressive operation they've got there; strange I'd never stopped there
during my 15 years living nearby. Looking at the equipment, seeing the
range of engines in-process and completed, and talking to the owner and
staff, I'm convinced I'll get a good crank back. While only the thrust
face was badly damaged, all of the journals show enough evidence of the
circulated debris that they'll probably grind and polish them all to 0.010"
undersize.
They said it may be ready tomorrow; if not probably the next day. Great
turn-around!
Estimated cost: $195.
With that, all new bearings, gaskets, oil, filter, etc., I'll probably wind
up with another $500-$600 in the engine. Thank goodness there won't be any
more labor cost (I HOPE). :-)

Ken, when you get the crank back, be sure to get your Rifle cleaning
tool and clean all the oil passages.
You can never trust what they send.
I even had our shop send out a USED windshield and not noticed it.
I've had few calls for used windshields.

IMO, you should call MTS or Cad Co and ask them about thrust bearing procedures.

I am VERY sorry to have mentioned it on the GMC net, I should have shut up
and just sent Ken the photos.
Oh wait a minute if I had done that Gary wouldn't have known to ask for
them.
Hmmmmm now I am so confused I guess I'll go to bed! ;-)

Rob M.
