I have 2, X308's (a '99, and '00) and both have spun #1 rod bearings. the crankshafts are worn down on these journals. Do you guys know a place to send the cranks to that will weld them and then machine them back to spec? Or do you guys send them out locally. Im hoping for a place to send them on an exchange basis. Thanks.

 

im not sure that they can weld them and machine them to the nominal size bearing, what i would do is take it to a local machine shop, have them measure it so they can tell you how much bigger of a bearing you will need and then machine it to that size, this will be the cheapest and easiest solution, btw you will need all new bolts for it since they are tty which i just learned myself

ive been dealing with this myself currently wihile rebuilding a 4.0 stype with a lincoln block and need to get everything fitted,

 

I'm in a same boat. Did you guys figure it out?
