How long does it take to grind a small block Chevy crank?
Спорт
Hi.
In this video I start by timing how long it takes me to grind and polish a small block Chevy crankshaft. I then receive a surprise gift from Sam, and the video ends with old footage from another small block Chevy bottom end, which I machined and built.
Take care and enjoy.
James and Sam.

Spot on - that crank grinder is easily my favourite machine in your shop; looks the best and is very satisfying 👍🏻

Usual attention to detail that I'm sure will make a reliable and powerful engine - nice!

I came across your channel last week. I've pretty much binge watched most of your other videos. Your attention to detail is incredible, as is your skill. I subscribed after watching the first video. Many thanks for your content. 👍

Thanks Ed, hope you're ok.
I don't know why, but my mind's eye pictured a V8 crank as some horribly complicated monstrosity. I forgot that each big end journal carries two rods. Doh!

Nice job. How does the wheel follow the profile of the crank pin ?

Thank you.. it has adjustable fingers that follow the journal, when the dial is turned it opens up to grind the journal
