Got the cranks to my 321s turned.

I finally found a machine shop that would turn my cranks.  He asked me $35.00 to turn one crank, so I took him two.  He then said he would turn both of them for $30.00 each.  I said OK.

 

He put a micrometer on them and proclaimed that one was wore almost 3 thousands and the other one was wore almost 4 thousands.  Now both are 10 thousands under.

 

This is when I pulled the crank, after the rod broke.

This is after a few hours in the muratic acid.  I buffed them out with a fine grit sanding sponge and they shined up, but they needed more.

And this is after having them turned 10 thousands.

I'll probably leave them wrapped in this plastic until I get ready to rebuild one of the engines.

Keep a coat of grease on them so they don't rust.
