does anyone know anywhere that will fix a worn crank keyway?

my new bottom end has a worn keyway (I havent seen it yet, will put up a pic when Ive got it) does anyone know anywhere that could grind it out and fit a new woodruff for me? or if its really worn its going to need welding and re-cutting

cheers m'dears

just scrap the 2.5 td pajeros and by a kia sportage

kia owners being as useless as their cars... as ever

Isn't it easier/cheaper to fit a replacement crank?
I know jockers had a 2.5td engine out of a L200, siezed motor.
He replaced it with the Pajero engine. Hence the pajero with no motor up 4 grabs!

well i was gonna swap cranks over from the engine that is already in it, and the one with the worn keyway

just thought its probably easier to get crank repaired if at all possible!

the kia is useless not me

it's normally the bottom pully that goes then eventually wears the crank away. you'd have to get the crank and pully machined with a new key way and to do that you'd have to take the crank out so you might aswell swap the cranks over.

but first check that the crank has worn and not just the pully. you can get new pullys from milners

yeh i think i'll just swap the cranks over, and replace the shell bearing thingys. then she'll be like new
