I have had a hard time finding anyone local who grinds cranks... but it's back together with a new crank, by plastigage, the mains seemed a little on the tight side, and the rods were spot on. whoever was in the engine last, stamped letters into the oil pan rail where the gasket seals... I'll have to RTV it to make sure it doesn't leak... erg. otherwise, all the seating surfaces are cleaned up, the new rear main is in, the new crank is in. and I'm beat...
