Re: 440 crankshaft

Thanks Kevin, great idea. Do you need a special bit to drill a crankshat? I 
don't know how hard that material is.  I am going to try that, and the good 
thing is- I don't have to load it up and take to a machine 
shop...........THANKS 1...................MO

hello gang, I have drilled th pilot hole for clearance only on assembled 
engines. Put a gm lage diameter bushing in the recess in the crank and use 
the pilot hole as a drill bushing and go! Use a drill with enough power to 
drive the drill bit and the drilled hole needs to be largr than the rans 
pilot.  Dorman brand oilite bushings work best.Find a part store or machine 
shop with a selection of bushings for choices.
