class=975082210-25062015>Take a risk of reusing or not : maybe it depends on how
the bearings and bearing surfaces are looking : if bearing material is heat
welded on the crankshaft or the crank bearing surfaces are rough, you
cannot reassamble the engine like that of course. But if the bearing surfaces
are unmarked (except for the colour), why not try and reassemble the engine with
new bearings and check after every added bearing and conrod if the crankshaft is
rotating without high points?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Same thing happened to me 10 years or so ago. I sent the crank back
to Moldex to be reworked by them. Less time than a new crank, but still
took a while. The Carillo rods were toast. Some were twisted.
Did not want to risk using them, even if we tried to straighten them.
Changed to Pauter rods, since they are much less expensive. With all
the expense of an engine, it is not worth trying to get by with questionable
parts. Good luck with it. Joe(B)<BR><BR>---------- Original Message

<DIV>The oil pump broke in my TR4 and roasted the bearings. The Moldex steel
crank and Carillo rods are not damaged but are now a blue color from being
overheated. The machine shop is wondering if it is ok to use them. What are FOT
thoughts? It takes 6 months to have another crank made.</DIV><BR><BR><FONT
