I have a delimna like most have heard and I am trying to cut the cost here but not corners either.
I know one journal on the is bad so I can either turn the one journal a little and put an oversized bearing or there is guy who will build it back up to it's original size. For about 150-200
Or I can get a 3 liter crank cheap and rebalance the crank for 225.00 -275.00
or I have a SVT 2.5 liter crank from last motor balanced for pauter rods with pistons but it will tad different to do sine the 3 liter psitons are tad heavier but if he charges less to do it then maybe I can go that way.
And the brings up which crank is better if they are both balanced 2.5 liter SVT or the escape crank?
I will more likely change the oil pump to a mazda 6 for higher oil volume for a better oil flow. I am taking down the motor and sending off the rod and changing all bearing and reassemble the motor again once I figure out the crank issue and plastic guage the peices once again.
I am guessin if I can get the rod for 200.00+200.00(balanced)+ bearings+ oil pump+cradle bolts and head gasket= $700.00 setback
I hoping someone would tell me just use the old svt crank I have the original weight of the old 2.5 pistons if I could take some weight off the 3 liter pisotns to match thm then for my old 2.5 liter crank would swap out direct
