how to change crankshaft bearing

[rescume858]

looking for advice on how to change the crankshaft bearings on a 1997 , 787 engine. Is it worth it to change or buy a new/used crank. The motor is already apart. thx for any help

If you have the equiment... then press it apart, change the seals and bearings... true it up... TIG it all in place... and re install.

Personally... I own the equipment, but I just buy Hot-Rods cranks.

The only time I will rebuild a crank for myself or for a customer, is if it's something that isn't available. (My labor is worth more than a reputable rebuild) Not to metion... Hot-Rods cranks are new... not rebuilds.

Im Insterested in taking apart a crank

Do the pins have a shoulder on them?
Or Will they just push through?
Is there a distance that needs held for rod clearence when you reassemble?
