found locally, a little bit expensive but on same town, and Standart ( bearings are clear without undersize stamp on them ). It looks in GREAT conditions, just a polish job and ready to install.

what do you recomend to a nice home polish job on journals ?

a flat shoelace and some 400 grit wet/dry paper.

Best under running solvent for lube, wrap the flat shoelace around each crank journal twice over top of the sandpaper slice you have cut, and start your arms back and forth.
Make sure the piece of sandpaper you cut goes all the way around the crank and back on itself, before wrapping the shoelace around to spin the sandpaper.
Rotate the crank periodically as you go.

You'll be surprised how nice a job it does.

nice idea!

I guess the wider the lace the better and faster to wrap more surface at the time

it looks to be quite a fast job on that way... doesn't ?

will try to take a pic of the crank to show conditions

Crank doesn't worth a penny... its 040 undercut and needing to be cut ( if 050 was available )

Thanks God seller will respond about that and will give me his own Crank ( he doesn't have the money to refund me ), already and recently undercut 010, Installed on engine but never run.

So got a very nice deal on 010 bearings
