Well today i was all chuffed as i was a step closer to getting the engine built.

 

but..... when i picked the bits up from the engine shop they said, we just nipped the crank when we were grinding the edges down to knife edge, they said nothing to worry about purely cosmetic. Well at least they were honest and told me that had down it.

 

Well anyway gave the crank to Mark the mechanic building the engine and his response was "well that's ****ed!" Mark explained why, the nick was on the main Bearing jurnoul. Not only that but it was really rough as if they sanded it with sand paper.

Well It goes back then and they will have to replace it as they damaged it :confused:

is it as simple as that?

 

He knows he done it as he pointed it out when loading it into the car.

then they cant deny that they fooked it, you wasnt aware at the time that it would cause a problem (because the muppet that did it told you so)... now you know its fooked so... they pay for another 1 :)

I would be wary of the engine shop that did the work, if they tell you that a nick of a crank journal is "alright"?

hope you get it sorted mate.

LOL exactly

 

hopefully they have not installed chocolate rings :nelson:

yeah i hope i get it all sorted too.

 

I never looked at it like that, that is a bit of a worry. i've never seen what knife edge looks like before but it does look as if a angle grinder was took to it, so makes you wonder if that was a mess up too.
