Old Engine - Crank Comes Home

Got my crankshaft back.  I think I know what a glamour photographer feels like with a good looking model.  Isn't she a beauty?  (Click on images to enlarge).



This end was unwelded, taken apart and the inner bearing and rod replaced.  Then it was welded back up.

This is the new rod.

Both ends were subject to some drilling as part of the balancing process.



New rod.


New rod and drilled end.

The weld in here is the factory weld as it was not necessary to split the crank here.
All the big ends were replaced.
I love my new crank.  Don't really want to hide it away inside the cases!

  1. The dedication to the refurbishment of the crank shaft is impressive. Your love and admiration for your crank shaft is not unnatural.
