danger Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 If your all as lazy as me you wont wanna do a nice long reply so I'll make it multichoice, because I like multichoice. My big ends are sad again in my Benz cos I didnt do a crank regrind, just polished up the journals a little with the sump off. I've now got to pull it all out and do the regrind I should have done in the first place. The question is: Do I need to do all the big-end journals or just the one thats shagged? (A) YES ( NO Im just worried that if I only do one whether having a lighter side to the crank will throw it out of balance or anything. I appreciate any answers, extra marks are available for tips or explanations. If you dont know the answer, DONT VOTE! Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esky boi Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Do all of them, because when you get the new undersized bearings they'll come in a set all the same size. The place that does the grinding for you will supply them, or tell you what size you need. I put A, as in do all of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Do I need to do all the big-end journals or just the one thats shagged?(A) YES ( NO so is YES for do all or for just the shagged one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger Posted March 29, 2005 Author Share Posted March 29, 2005 Wow guess I fucked that one up, it was a Monday though. Uh yeah Im not sure if I can buy single bearings or not. I think it might still work out cheaper to get a set of oversizeds and use only one and get only one journal reground, no idea what that costs. Top marks to you both though. Excellent!

SYKOV6 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 do the whole lot its only $20 a journal bearings come in a set and sure a phuck when the other ones shagged out theres metal filings in the oil meaning the other ones will go too be lieve me ive been there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 Yeah is that all it costs for a regrind? I remember working for a guy who was fielding his own stock car team and it cost his 300 for his V8s crank grind. Yeah I've only just replaced the bearings and itd only been running for an hour max before they shot out. It'l only be the fourth bearing im sure. The mercs got a stupid fan that is magneticly opperated so it wont spin unless its got power to the magnets to make it grip the shaft, this isnt working which is why they blew so fast. Thanks though, I will do them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYKOV6 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 count the journals on a v8 and youll see why but ya dont have to grind the big ends and the mains u can do either or both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger Posted March 31, 2005 Author Share Posted March 31, 2005 Yeah thats kinda stating the obvious, still figured itd be $150, $150/4= about $40 a journal, seeing as only one needed done I thought I might have been able to save some coin. I will do them all though, thank you very much P.S. you all get full marks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
