[AT] .40 main bearings allis B

[Louis]

I am amazed at how many times a machine shop will turn a crank, before
checking to see what bearings are available.  I get calls all the time
at my shop from people who had there cranks turned and now they can't
find the proper bearings.  Some of these people get upset with me, and I
tell them they should take their issue up with the machinist and not me.

I checked with 4 of my vendors.  The smallest undersize mains are .030".
I can get .060" under rod bearing, but I know this does not help you.

If I were you, I would go back to the machinist and ask him if he looked
to see if .040" under bearing were available before he turned the crank.
If he says he did, ask him to produce some.  If he says he didn't tell
him the crank needs to welded and turned to standard, on his dime.

Just my thoughts.

Louis
