I've pulled the zetec crank out of the shed only to find surface rust on the journals. I've polished them up but i can still see pitting so what i need to know is am i better off getting this crank re-ground or just getting another crank?

Also what are the standard oversized bearing sizes, so that i can have the crank ground to the correct size.

bit technical - thanks for any advice

 

dont need to get a new crank mate, just take it to a local engineers
they'll polish it out, If they can't, they don't know what they are doing i had the same problem with a pinto crank which i thought was too badly pitted., They assured me they could polish it out without a regrind. they did .

 

Probably cheaper to get a second hand crank, they are common enough.

 

1.8 zetec cranks and 2.0 zetec cranks are the same so as above, common to get but a pain to remove, cranks can be polished so that prob ya best bet, prob be about £30 tops.

if ya wanted a regrind, to give you a rough idea, i had my FRST crank reground, cost me £135, and that included new bigs and mains and thrust washers, bargin i thought, but it depends where ya go.
