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? |

I asked them to Magna-flux the case, not the crank.
Look close at this picture and you may understand why I wanted the align bore "checked". If he had to re bore the case, I probably would've looked for another one. I should have been more specific about my question re: the con-rods. I know that they make after market rods and I know they make rods that cross referance to other applications, like Chevy rods or rods that come out of a water cooled VW. Though, now I will just get the rods from Jake. As to the bearings. This is gonna be tough to make any sense out of but try to follow me: If the Crank is turned down, the align-bore size is stock and the "inside" of the bearing is one over. If the case was bored, the "inside" of the bearing would be stock and the outside of the bearing would be one over. Am I thinking right? If two "main" journals had to be turned, and the two others were ok, Would you turn all four and buy a complete set of four "undersized" bearings or two and two? 2stock and 2 undersized? And as Jake said, the price for the work was a little heavy, I'm not sure I'd want to order the bearings though them. Jake I'll call right now. Attached image(s)
