RE-BUILT Diesel engines that I've purchased from a re-builder here in So. Calif. have crankshafts machined to 1st repair size .25mm (.010") on the Mains and Journals that maintain a PROPER OIL CLEARANCE of .050-.075mm. (.002-.003") with NEVER an OIL PRESSURE problem . . . EVER ! ! !

ps: and I know his Crank Grinder PERSONALLY . . . so I know with NO DOUBT ! ! !
