Lane's SCA - Engine Disassembly (5)

	With the pistons removed, the cylinder walls looked pretty good. There was no gouging or bad scratches visible. I was also unable to feel any ridges made from the rings at the end of the pistons' travel.
	The crosshatch hone pattern was still visible from when new.
	A view of the crankshaft after the pistons have been removed. With no compresion, it spins very easily and looks pretty cool. You can see a small video clip HERE (126k). (Indeo 5 codec required, available HERE).
	In this photo, the rear oil seal can be seen still attached to the block. Before its removal, crankshaft thrust clearance was measured and it was within factory tolerances.

	The bearings in the main caps looked to be in very good condition, and main journal oil clearances measured well within stock tolerances.
	Even though this crankshaft is the lighter of the 2 designs offered in the 1.9 motors over the years, its still pretty damn heavy.
	The surfaces of the main journals & crank pins looked to be in good shape - except for #2 where the bearing spun. Measuring this pin showed it to be more worn than the other 3 and I'd be surprised if the crank was still useable.
	A view of the now-bare block (with main bearings still in place), after the crankshaft was removed.
	Here's a closeup of the surface of one of the block's main bearings. They all looked pretty good for wear.
