Centre thrust CRANKSHAFT / Cometic HEAD GASKETS / ACL Race BEARINGS

Got a standard centre thrust crankshaft suitable for earlier classics. All measures up within standard Subaru spec and I was about to use it for a build, but #4 crankpin has a little nick in it that has raised a tiny lip meaning it can't be used with standard sized bearings. It could definitely be reground fairly cheaply to take +0.25mm oversize bearings, or perhaps someone who knew what they were doing could carefully grind the defect down flush. It's very very tiny and was only enough to just take the top layer of the bearing shell surface off when tightened down. This will be perfect for someone who needs to rebuild on a budget especially if their own crank has been torn up beyond the regrind limit and they don't want to spend £400 on a new one.

I also have the set of ACL Race Series big end bearing shells if anyone wants them - two have a little of the top layer stripped off from the crank defect above, two have some very minor surface marks from trial fitting and the other four are brand new and never even fitted.

Lastly I have a brand new pair of 1.3mm thick / 93mm bore MLS Cometic head gaskets to suit the standard EJ20. Best you can buy for a good strong build, but I need to raise some money for a new crank, so I'll have to sell these on for the time being!

PM me for details and photos on any of these. I take Paypal.
