I have torn down 2 164 block and both show very bad wear and scratches on the crank.
I have never seen this kinda of wear on a nitrated crank.
both my verde and my spider cranks look brand new when I tear them down.
The verde had 260K and very damaged mains and the crank still looked perfect.
The 164 bearing were in better shape but the cranks look trashed.
I wanted to set up a good v6 but all my cores seem to have bad cranks.
Should look for a 2.5 crank and make 2.8's or have them reground?
how hard is it to find a good crank? This is getting frustrating.
