    Hey all!
    I'm rebuilding the motor in my 53 Mercury and I'm looking for someone to polish my crank (HA!) Is there someone in western washington, Ideally the Tacoma area that does flathead work? I seem to remember running into someone at the puyallup swap meet but I can't find his info now.

    what is so special about a flat head crank that it needs a specialist to polish?
