You may already know this, but you can get oversized thrust washers to reclaim the crank you have, available in 3 thou and 10 thou oversize I believe.

yep. that would usually sort the issue - but i've been told it's the surfaces that those washers will rest on that's overly worn/not up to scratch. hmmm |

Do you mean the block side of the thrust...or the crank side?

One side sits to the crank, the other to the block. If the crank side is scored then it can be ground in much the same way as the journals to reclaim it. The only reason to need a new crank is if it is scored/worn to beyond 30 thou, if those are the biggest oversize as Carl says (and he is probably right).

I've had thrust faces ground loads in the past. Excellent results! On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

30 thou arent available anymore (atleast what I was told by many when I needed some).
I seriously doubt it! |

Say you wanted a 7 thou oversize, am I right in thinking theres no reason why you couldn't machine a 10 thou down?

If you could accurately machine the steel backing side down, no reason why not, but the bearing face I would say no, the bearing material will be a defined thickness.

Just intrigued. tyou cannot mACHINE A 0.010 DOWN BECAUSE THEY DO NOT EXIST,opps caps, there is no reason why any decend machine shop cannot grind down the face t accept 0.030 thrusts, iv'e acctually just turned down the face once, worked a treat, as long as you get a good finish.
