Thank you. Hopefully I will not find what you did when I pull the pan.

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".

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?

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