I'm looking for a diesel maxima crank that doesn't need more than 0.01" taken off the journals.

I've found brand new ones in Europe and Japan, but they're running at least $1,500. Craigslist people aren't answering.

Might end up finding a car or engine, but would rather not have to drive forever and pull it myself.

Anyone know a workaround?

Why are  you worried about the material takeoff on the journal? It doesn't materially effect the strength of the crank. Any crank you buy will need crack checking, polishing and possibly turning? All part of the deal.  If you're interested PM me, I have two...

Sorry, meant .01, not .001. PMing you now.

There you go! 8^)

Isn't there a 620 pickup with the diesel motor in it?  Seems like @Blue was coming down south to pick one up, Florida maybe?

Sorry all. I did pick up a Nov 1969 L24 in Fla. and drove back to Canada with it.  The plan was to see Steve, you, Patcon, Baddog. Cptn Ob on the way home but due to work we had to high-tail it back.  It has been busy since.

 

Hopefully will see some of you at Zcon!

 

I communicated with Matthew about my D crank. 

 

 

We'll meet up again someday, I'm sure of it. 

I just remembered our conversation.  You bought a truck to haul the 2.4 back to Canada!

After reading a few minutes there was an International Scout and the Nissan Patrol that used the SD33T diesel motors.  I also read the 620 PU had a diesel but it's a 4 cylinder.

You can always buy polished turds:

As far as I can tell the trucks had the SD22. That was a 4 cylinder, right?

Oh, might be willing to trade turbo ZX parts for an LD28 crank

L28 marine diesel on Detroit Craigslist.

Yeah, can't make it work. Would be at least $1500 by the time I got it home.


From what I can tell that is not recoup able from selling the rest of the parts.

There was also one in Arkansas that I missed out on by about a day for $700.

Right now my best option looks like importing one. Investigating having a friend pick one up from an engine that's going for $100 overseas.
