Guest Anonymous Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 couldnt you off-set grind a 2.8 crank to get the desired stroke using .030 over rod bearings.....just a thought.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_H Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 Yes, you could, but why? You take the chance of unbalancing the crankshaft,(if done improperly), and you assume they are good welders and will leave no holes in their work,(under the polished part). You can pick up a good used LD28 crank for 150-300, which is about the same cost as offset grinding a L28 crank. Why mess with good enginerring? And no need to go .30 over. You would acutally make it to the same bearing size. -Bob Hanvey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZROSSA Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 I have often wondered why if a 4 pot l engine can be taken out to 2.4 lts why cant the 6 pot be taken out to 3.6? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Douglas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 i mean when you grind the crank for .030 under bearings you do it in an off-set....no need for the welding or the re-balancing. thays what i was trying to get at....but yes i see the cost would be the same if it was done the other way.
