| 428 crankshaft polish |
| By Paul Garvin - 07/10/2002 10:11:58 AM; IP 65.105.39.2 |
I just picked up a 428 IU crankshaft for the motor I am planning on eventually putting in my 69 Cougar convertible. The crank is in good shape but has some surface rust on the journals from sitting. It has never been turned, and I'd like to try to polish it out before I resort to having it cut .010. Is this something that can be done in the home workshop, or is this best left to a machine shop? Also, where can I go to get the polishing paper? I plan on having it balanced along with the rest of the reciprocating assembly after I get the block sonic checked to determine max bore for piston selection. So would it just be simpler to wait and have the machine shop just cut, polish and balance all at the same time? I dont like the rust on the journals, and it may be some time before I get this whole thing together and to a machinist. I'd like to clean up the rust and then coat and seal the crank while I wait. Any thoughts?
