Re: IML: Spun Bearing - in block cure

[Kenyon Wills <imperialist1960@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, as a matter of fact, I do have several cranks
lying around BUT I think that the crank has material
on it and that it can be polished off.  Will be trying
that first.

My goal is to be as cheap as possible because I'm
tight on money, the engine is really low miles and I'm
feeling lazy.  Yes, I know what "right" is, but will
try to get away with it.

I'll phone in from the farthest spot possible when it
decides to break, but I'm into a quick clean-up,
replace, and reinstall.  Always wanted to drive a '62,
and this is my chance.  I'll get the engine looking
ultra clean in the process, so that's a bonus.
