has anybody had a crank ground in the providence ri or boston ma area looking for cost and quality turn around time etc. thanks
In the Long Island area, most shops send them out. I had one done in late 2015, it was back in a week for $175. I'd ask some local engine rebuilders. Or: http://www.radautomachine.com/Crankshaft_Grinding.html
Dana from Custom Automotive Machine/ Camco Racing engines in Weymouth, MA or Reid's Automotive in Whitman, MA. Dana has done a few engines for me, including my Buick Straight 8, but the crank was too long for him, and he sent it to Reid's, who ground it to change from babbited bearings, to inserts. Dana has been there sine '74, and Reid's has been there since '67, very knowledgeable guys, but i can not say about the turn around time, the buick took awhile, the current big block chevy Dana has for me seems to be coming together pretty quickly. i have heard people complain about the turn around time from Reid's, but they do good work.
