Crank endplay

[glenn kingery]

Rebuilding the 8n and found that there is too much endplay. I need to take up .008 to .01 of the endplay. Adjusting the play in the thrust bearing cap will not do it. Any answers would help.

Live with it or replace the crankshaft.

Had mine welded up then machined down to get right.

What did that cost vs. exchanging it for a ready to install unit?
HOPEFULLY, you had "connections" and got it done reasonably?

I also had it turned down for over sized bearings. I think total cost was around 400 something.
