I thought he used the same name here, use the YB then or Jake can call him......
I think Scott knows some guys at Roush he might be able to find out also

If it's a Sonny Bryant crank, I'd give them a call.

And King Bearing was the next place I was going to try.......
At this point it's going to be which is cheaper, having Bearings made for it or having the crank Hard Chromed back to STD specs.......Last edited by TC; June 3, 2012, 10:31 AM.Comment

Hard chrome at .010 for this application is asking alot. that contact sonny bryant sounds like the best idea. if they have custom stuff I doubt if they order one replacement bearing set at a time. Sounds like an awesome crank, but also sounds like the reason it was put back on the market.Originally posted by TC View Post
otherwise maybe outside us might be a match, http://www.aclperformance.com.au/us/contact_usus.htmLast edited by anotheridiot; June 5, 2012, 05:51 AM.Comment

TC, I can't tell from the conversation if it's a 1.850 cut to 1.84 or a 1.880 cut to 1.870? Sorry, not trying to be dense... just wanting to make sure before I go all googlegineering on it. grin.Flying south, with a flock of bird dogs.Comment

I called Arizona Hard Chrome yesterday, they don't fix cranks anymore but the guy did refer me to Electronic Chrome and Grind in California that he said does an Excellent job at repairing cranks. He said they are one of the best in the country...... I'm going to call them today and see what the gig is........Originally posted by anotheridiot View Post
And Beag's it's a 1.850 rod journal that was cut to 1.840........ I've searched all over the place for a .010 bearing but no go...... Also the bearing it is suppose to use is a Clevite CB1798H...... The problem like the guy at Clevite said is it's a Nascar bearing and Nascar doesn't allow them to run a crank journal less than 1.850, thus the reason there isn't a .010 bearing available....... Though if I'd like to put an order in for 1000 pieces they would be more than happy to whip me up a batch in the size that I need......Comment

Sure seems like machining the over the counter Saturn bearings would be the easiest solution?There's always something new to learn.Comment

I know which bearing your talking about, problem is the OD of the bearing is not the same as the ID of the big end of the rods I have, it is VERY close, but I'd probably have to have the rods resized.....Which again cost money....... But it is an option.......Originally posted by milner351 View Post
And I still like the idea of hard chroming the crank back to STD specs, that way the bearings are off the shelf items........Last edited by TC; June 5, 2012, 08:17 AM.Comment

the search for ACL ends up reading
File Format: PDF/Adobe Acrobat
ACL “RACE” brand engine bearings are designed for improved performance and ..... Always accurately measure all journals, con rod and mains tunnels prior to ..... 2.2485/2.2490. 57.112/57.125. 2.3950/2.3955. 60.833/60.846 .0724. 1.840 ...
it takes you to a pdf catalog, but I have no clue where the 1.840 is.Comment

the 1.840 could be a cam bearing or if it is a Rod bearing it probably doesn't have the right OD specs........ I've done quite a bit of research on this....... The problem is the bearings I need are only made for Nascar engines and Nascar doesn't allow a .010 undersized bearing, thus the reason they don't make them.......Originally posted by anotheridiot View PostComment

Ok talked with Mike over at Electronic Chrome and Grind and he said no problem in resizing the rod journals back to the STD specs...... Cost.... $385 for the first journal and $85 for each additional journal, so $640 dollars........ Figuring that I only paid $850 for the crank, rods and wrist pins and the crank alone new would cost like $5000, I'm thinking I'm still coming out on top.........
Now to find a Dry Sump Rear Main cap for this Bowtie Block that I have.........Last edited by TC; June 5, 2012, 11:10 AM.Comment
