Default Re: Help with this 8BA

Your best bet is to take the rods and caps to a good machine shop and have them assembled and honed to determine whether they can be used. Have the crank measured, as well, to determine the oversize. if necessary. Standard oversize is .010, ,020, .030, and .040. Otherwise special order bearings will be needed. At our shop, we grind crankshafts and order spec bearings from Mahle. Most "basket case" engines have some surprises.
