Crankshaft main journal service limit

Send it out to Aircraft specialities in tulsa for rework. It will come back looking like new and if you wish, with new fitted bearings.

Thats why I like mechanical tools that don't require batteries!

What kind of caliper did you use? I've never heard of that happening. Even my $10 Harbor Freight special gave the right readings until the battery was so low that the display was unreadable.

Thanks Tom. That's exactly what I want to get done.

This is what they look like when they come back.

I bought an engine to rebuild as a spare, but after taking it apart it looks like the crank is beyond limits. Before I write it off, can anyone double check this for me? ]

So, did you get a good deal after all?

What engine is this that you are offering parts from? I'm looking to put together a C-145. What parts do you have that would work for a C-145? Pieter 973-615-1258

The sump was bad...corrosion in the usual spot near the front drain. That one is a loss.

Arash-
How did you determine the sump was bad, had it been weld repaired already, or was there a hole all the way thru? I'm curious.

From an earlier post, Tom Downey says he can repair it, but it might be expensive. It might be worth it if someone needs one bad enough.
