I've decided to tear down my 1750 engine in order to asses the overall condition of the major components. The #3 rod journal has some rather deep score marks and will definitely to be need machined down. So before contacting a machine shop I wanted to get some feedback from the engine experts on this BB on the following questions;
-can I machine the journals down to 3rd oversize if required to save the crank? (considering that I'm only going to be buiilding a mild street engine)
-will there be any hardening required after machining? (I was told that the 2L cranks need this for sure)
-what bearing sets should I go with afterwards? (I've seen some threads on this but was wondering if others have different opinions on this as well)..
..any other tips would be appreciated as well....
