Crankshaft Issue
Crankshaft Issue
Tuesday, September 15, 2009
I got a call from Mike at ABT today. The big end of the crank shaft, the surface that rides inside the rear main seal, is severely pitted. It is a shame too, because the rest of the crank looks very good.
This crank cannot be used as-is, so there are a few options:
1.Use a different ’01+ crank, which I do not have
2.Use a 1994-1997 crank, which I do have
3.Sleeve the surface, which may take a while
Mike is researching options and I’ve got some homework to do too.
