'92 Dakota 360 Swap
#103
Turns out I can’t reuse my current crank. Am currently polishing the journals with the good old shoelace and some sandpaper rolls and after 400, 600, 800, then 1000 grit I still have scoring that catches the nail. I’m not sure how I didn’t notice this but on the rear 2 rod journals the scoring is so bad I can actually feel it with my finger tip (not nail).

With how expensive labor is now it’s probably cheaper to buy a new crank anyway. The beginning of my parts issues also begins… ordered a set of core/oil plugs from summit, I’m missing half of the oil plugs.

I've looked at Advance, their prices are a lot cheaper but their supplier is currently out of stock which sucks. I did find a place that sells one for $350 though.
