Last week I bought some 1144 Stressproff for the crankshaft. Got well into machining it and it was coming out very nice... Then I realized I overcut the crank journal...
It is supposed to be 0.375 and I had 0.250 in my head. There's not enough left of the raw stock to start another. I was going to order a 3' length, but I cheaped out and bought 1' instead. The OAL of the crankshaft is 6.16" which doesn't leave me enough...
Oh well. I don't want a 0.250 journal, so I ordered another 1' 1144 bar from McMaster for $21.55. Should be here tomorrow.
