crank polishing

[Captn. J]

i m looking for  quick answer if i shd buy this motor ? for my project... this is a 94 tbi 350 motor ... a guy said need bearings so i m think i ll have to polish the crank and get the right bearings so how much  machine shop usually charge for polishing the crank?  guy said about 100k miles on it

[Ranger Dave]

there  more to it than  just  polish the  crank,     you  need the  rods  looked at.      cylenders  at  least  crosshatched.   

richerts will  clean  up a  crank and rods   for around  200  dollars.   

[Captn. J]

ok thanks ... what need to be looked at the rods?

[Ranger Dave]

take the  rods and  crank in at the  same time .     get the  cylender  wall   cross hatched  and the   cam bearing  look at  you should be  fine.

[Captn. J]

ok i ll keep this in mind... just another  question is  $200 a  good deal for a complete tbi motor with the problem i mention up above?

[Ranger Dave]

if your  happy with it. don't worrie about  anyone else

if it needs  bearing , it will need  all the rest  of the  rebuild to.    i'd  olney  give  $100  if  it  need s rebuilt.

I would only pay $100 if it needs rebuild!
