CA guys...need a crankshaft.

["Joe Doty" <rocco2nr@hotmail.com>]

If anyone in CA (north or south) knows where I could get a 9A crank...that would make my month.  I don't want to buy another block if I don't have to.

 

I just found out that the block I bought has a screwed up crankshaft.  Apparently a piece of a main seal fell between the main journal and a counterweight on the crankshaft and it started eating away at the thrust bearing and the wearing surface on the crankshaft.  I think my block is okay, since the metal where the thrust bearing seats appears to be OK.  But I don't want to try to get the crank repaired, I'm not a big fan of welding on forged crankshafts...

 

You can bet I called the guy I bought it from (he was in LA) and asked what was up.  He was actually decent about it and decided to send me half my money back (I spent $400 on the engine).

TIA,
Joe
