Was your crank gouged or out of round? How much was the new crank?

Crank is back. rouglhy $65 to get polished. It did not need to be turned / reground. The bearing material melted and welded itself to the crank, and I am told that woth hardened cranks that is pretty typical. I was lucky enough to have ZERO material removed from my crank. all my measurements are standard. And I still have a hardened crank. wow |

I have selected to regrind my original crank to the first oversize and use all original equipment. After talking to a few local machine shops, the expensive nitride hardening is often skipped with excellent results.
Often, the N/A engines eventually find turbos on them as well. As an upgrade, of course(?) |

Two thoughts on "Your" Upgrade theory
1. NA engines have no Oil Jets to keep the pistons cool.
2. 'Cranks on NA engines not Nitrided. "Turbo-ing" a NA is "Train Wreck Waiting to Happen".

Don't forget the oil pump.
I would certainly not suggest this to anyone. Simply claiming its plausibility. |

your better off just getting a turbo engine, piston oil coolers, nitrided crank, sodium filled valve faster spinning starter.

He has a turbo engine, he just needs a crank.
Was the crank damaged?

cervan, do ever read the entire thread?
BG, yes, all 5 throws had bearing damage. Pretty minor considering what can happen. It is being turned this week. car should be back together in 5 days. then troubleshooting for then next 6-8 months (ha!) |

That makes sense. I pulled the pan from mine and did not find any metal. Guess I lucked out.
