Crankshaft Hardness and Grinding
|
Cranked
|
Hello all, I have a question regarding grinding an IH DT-466 crankshaft. First of all, I know many people say to only use a std./std. crank. This is my question, my crank has already been ground to .010/.010 and may need taken to .020 on the rods. Should I be concerned with this running in a hot farm type tractor class? My intuition says not to be worried, but if there is something I don't know about, then I was wondering if anyone has experience with this. Thanks for the help! |
