Getting a crank shaft ground

[INCase]

Roughly, what is the going rate for a 4 cylinder crank shaft grinding/refinishing? I know it will vary from shop to shop but trying to get an idea on costs to make some desisions. Thanks.

Why not call the experts at a machine shop? Tell them what you have and what you want done.

Last 6 cylinder I had done cost me around $350 if that helps.

Farmall 400 crank, ground and I had them order the bearings so that I would not have to worry about them either. $225

Wow, last one i had ground was 10 years ago, done at an automotive speed shop, charged me $75.

Well if it cost that much you might as well go to a salvage yard and get a good crank. I've bought them for a lot less.

That one that cost me 350,was quite bad,had to be built up and reground,then ground the rest to 10 under come to think of it.

Thanks for the replies. I"ve measured it a couple times now (2 different ways) it looks like #1 is at the limits of the out-of-round and taper. We"ve got a shop that can do it but he final charge is always 20% more than his estimates so the info provided helps. Thanks again.
