I have re-built different engines in the past where the crank was nitrided coated on the journals from the factory, and undersizing the journals would grind all of the nitride coating off. Turned cranks were less "desirable".
Ezekial, will you e-mail me the adress and contact info for the person who does the nitride hardening?
Yes i know its a stellar price ...

John is the guy i dealt with. The manager of the sydney branch. Great guy!
And it was Bob BB Lee at Action Cranks Australia that did the machining (polishing, linishing, grinding if necessary etc)
He does alot of the top fueler stuff here in australia. And is involved in sprint cars and the likes.
