    Took the crankshaft back to the machine shop during my lunch break and showed the guy the scratches and he said they had to already be up there because the scartches have no burr...meaning the scratches had already been polished. He said that it shouldnt effect the rear main seal.

    Removed crankshaft tonight. I will be taking it back to the machine shop. I have a bad feeling he is going to say it cant be repaired

    The machine shop I used cleaned it up pretty good compared to how it looked when I dropped it off when I looked at it when I picked it up I didnt notice it. Hopefully it cleans up when I get some time this weekend to work on it. Im trying to keep this rebuild at a minimum I would hate to get...

    I will try the emery cloth and see if that helps. Im thinking this wont cause much damage. When I rub my finger over it I can barely feel the scratches.

    I thought I found a good machine shop I had them check the crankshaft afterwards they polished it and said it was good to go. And I doubt I damaged it during transport. I also decided to examine the camshaft to see if it could be re-used and it looks like one of the lobes has a bad flat spot.

    Yes it does catch my finger nail. I was trying to measure the thrush bearing to make sure it has been set correctly.

    Thanks guys. Got the crankshaft torqued and thrush seated. What's the cheapest way to measure?? Also I was looking at the crank and the machine shop said it was fine but I noticed a hair line scratch or crack

    That's what I'm confused about now I seen one article online that stated to hand tighten inner bolts then use screw driver or prybar then torque..the other one followed the same procedure you mentioned about torquing the inner bolts first pass then smacking the crankshaft with rubber hammer back...

    No I did not know this but thanks. Once I get my hands on some 30w engine oil i'll start the torque sequence I was hoping that assembly lube would work for the bolts the price of oil here is 7 bucks a quart

    Well the block checked out good still uses std bearings. Last night I got the main bearings installed and used a little assembly lube on them. Can the main cap bolts be re-used? Also the side main cap bolts?
