Re: [VintageLambo] Crank bearings/questions

Author: Chad Bolles

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER chrome a crank.The use of chrome was a great thing back in the dark ages, and was a great thing for a Fuel Drag engine, which usually did not last that long anyway.With the equipment and Technology available today, chrome is NOT the way to go. And NEVER use chrome to bring a crank to a bearing standard. The use of chrome was to make a harden surface on the crank, hopefully to increase bearing life, and not to build up the bearing surface to compensate for wear.
