Crank markings

(1/3) > >>

ogri211:
I've just got home and I am ready to rebuild my engine I was going to put new shells in the mains if I could get them, the trouble is I cant find the markings on the crank does anyone have any hints to try and see them I've tried cleaning them and shining a torch but cant find anything

Deano400:
Had the same problem with mine. Tried cleaning with petrol, different lights, magnifying glass, but some were just invisible. In the end I had them measured by a friend of mine at an engineering company. You may end up having to do the same.  :(

MrDavo:
I found I needed real sunlight (rare in Manchester), then suddenly there they were!

It seems odd that they measure the most tiny tolerances with really accurate gear, then record the results by scratching them on the flywheel with a child like scrawl using an engraver.

I suppose where else would you put them, and how long would it take?

K2-K6:
As above,  get it out into proper sunlight to see if you can spot them,  it'll probably be 16 to 32 times brighter than most torches so you've much more chance. Take it away from a bright background as well else your pupils close down in response.

Try polarising sunglasses as well to see if it helps.

You must have some torch if the sun is only 16 to 32 times brighter  ;) ;D ;D ;D
