| The grooves are no longer needed. |
| By Dave Shoe - 01/19/2002 12:34:07 AM; IP 216.243.158.124 |
A crankshaft specialty house can easily remove the diagonal grooves. They are only a few thou deep, and were needed only for the old rope rear main seal.
The modern split-neoprene seal doesn't use the grooves (and frees up horsepower which the rope seal consumed), so any FE crankshaft can be stripped of the grooves and spun in either direction. Also, the metallurgy and design of FE cast cranks are all pretty much the same in a given year, so you don't need to wonder if one crank has a better grade of nodular iron than the next.
