Thought I'd throw this out at everyone and see if the general census iswhat I believe. I took my crankshaft to a local machine shop to have thejournals checked and the end tapped for the safety bolt for the prop.The journals were in specs so I had it polished and the end tapped.I figured maybe $30 for the polish and $50 for the tap.. This guy chargesme $48 for just polishing and $98 for the one inch tap. Now am I living inthe past or does this sound a bit tooooo pricey to all of you? Now mind youthat this is for a corvair crank,,,, not even a aircraft engine,, Yet :)Just thought I'd ask everyone as I have become to rely on this list for goodquality thoughts and answers and maybe I'm pissed for no reason and this isa fair price.
