Hey guys, I told you id eventually get through all the engine parts, past was pistons, todays is crankshafts!
So Ive just finished pulling apart my 3UZ, its been long awaited, family issues have pinned this project to the floor...
Now removing the crankshaft I realise its already pretty durable, but is it worth me having it nitrided?
I realise its only going to improve fatigue life, its not really going to make it any stronger. All my bearing and journals are looking perfect, im having it linished already, im just contemplating a nitride or carburixe treatment.
Also whats the valve stem size on a 1UZ?
Thanks guys!
