Hi gentlemen of the red. As you know I have been searching for a set of .040 crankshaft bearings for a long long time with lots of help and good wishes but no luck. So I am now in a no lose situation. Basically I have a reground .040 crank ( we had to go there because of crank damage)and no bearings. So this is what I intend to do. I'm going to buy a set of .030 and back shim them between the castings and the bearings with .005 steel shim. My local engineer fell about laughing when I told him this and said 'not possible'. However I'm not an engineer so I don't know that. I'm just a man ? with a box of spanners(wrenches) and a screwed up M crankshaft. At worst I lose the price of a set of bearings against a running engine if it succeeds. So what do you all reckon, I'll certainly listen to what you have to say, but I'm pretty much set on doing it. So here goes nothing. By the way it's not likely to happen in a hurry. Incidently CA if you put your steel wheels in the garden and fill em with flowers you could just survive it or chocolate Take care MTF

"Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
