Default Cost of polishing crankshaft?
Does anyone have an idea of the average cost for polishing the crankshaft? How about blueprinting it? Any info is of help. Thanks.

Default Reground Crank
Check out Advance Auto Parts online catalog. They list a precision reground crank for around a $144 dollars plus core. I don't know if anybody is using one out there?

Default Footnote on Crankshaft Rebuilders
Did another search on Crankshaft Rebuilders. They use a new 50 Thousand dollar machine to polish their cranks. Their tollerances are much closer than you get with hand polishing resulting in less chance of bearing failures. For the money I would just buy the Crankshaft Rebuilers Crank from Advance. I am not sure if it includes the bearings for that price?
