Ok so pretty big update. Got the crankshaft out!
The bearings look ROUGH for "47k miles"...
Wondering if it was rolled over. Also it seems the wear isnt very even? Is that common? The crankshaft looks in good shape but I wont know until I get the correct micrometer in the mail. The bearings are lined up back-to-front as top-to-bottom in the photos.
I ordered materials to do a more-or-less proffessional polish job on the crank but now I am unsure after seeing the wear on the bearings if I may HAVE to have it machined.
I am also a bit concerned about some discoloration under the pistons ahere3 the rods connect.
I am just going to throw some photos I got up, and ig anyone feels like giving me some observations I would appreciate it! This is my first time doing work of this level. Thanks in advance!!
