G'day Folks,

Has my luck changed?

After ending up getting the cylinder head rebuilt, the block re-bored, and new pistons for my OM617 (non turbo) I've been told that the crankshaft is good!

Apparently I don't need to worry about the "light scoring" that runs around the main bearing surfaces: All I have to do is to make the crankshaft super clean and polish the journals with a rag and a bit of oil.

I'm looking for a second opinion, a third opinion etc etc etc

What do you think?

(Please take a look at the photo's)
