Hi

Last night I removed the crank. #1 rod bearing is a mess and so is the journal. The rest are in very good condition with no signs of wear and the mains are in good shape as well. I'm about to take the crank to the machine shop to see what they can do with the journal. They won't be familiar with this motor in the UK, so I'm wondering if there's anything I need to tell them. It's the stock crank which I understand to be standard nodular cast-iron, but is there a surface treatment, like nitriding, that will need to be redone after grinding, or anything else I need to know?

Regards

Richard
