The Engine Build

Nice update! Good luck to your builder with his wing repair!

You sure are gaining tons of knowledge with this build - that's excellent!

Patience our ass! Hahahaha! J/K - patience is a virtue
Plus posting up the build on here also gives the peepers that same knowledge.. We are learning !
 
Major problem
Crankshaft has run out
Crank spun free in old block
While grinding mains, as soon as the Steady Rest is removed we have 3 thou run out on #2
Put the Steady Rest back it runs true again
All bolted up in block crank spins fine but has 1.9 thou run out on #2 and 1thou on end of snout.
What to do now?

Super stroker crank time lol ... not sure they can fix it but IMO I would not take the risk and go with a new one .. Im sure the expense is going to be higher which stinks ..
 
Yeah I would not take chances at this point! You would kick yourself topside if something went wrong because if this ... but I'm obviously no expert on runout lol
Well become an expert and runout to the queen and runout to the store .. lol
 
I did learn something today - what runout is lol
Can you imagine at 6000 rpm in a 700hp motor and the crank gets a hair up its ask and decices to runout on the block ..
 
So @Kiwi SRT10 what are myour thoughts and option rolling around in your head so far ?
