Took the 2.0 to North east Machine shop last week.
their link Here's the news: Check align bore: Good Turn and polish crank: One over Magna flux (or whatever it's called) to test for cracks: Good Install threaded galley plugs: No problem Soak and clean case: Nice and shiney! Measure con rods: two are good, two are bad. Find and balance two new rods. Can you recommend a replacement? Find bearings "one over". $425.00 for the work and the rods. Sound reasonable? |

Imagnaflux cranks before having them turned into strokers and I do find a few that are cracked... very few.
Align boring is being more common practice these days because all cases are approaching 30 years of age. The TIV case generally doesn't need much attention. I would say that if this shop isn't TIV specific they may have missed some of the things that are actually real problem areas while trying to do the things associated with "Other" engines in the machine shop.. I'd like to know why two of the rods were "Bad" myself. |
