Any Value - OHC 6 Crankshaft that needs machined
I've got 2 OHC6 Crankshafts that were in good condition when removed approximately 40 years ago. But, due to poor storage conditions, they will need to be machined. I am pretty confident that they can be restored, but every journal(main and rods) will need machined.
Are they of any value or just anchors at this point?

The 250 crank is more desirable.

I hate to say NO but more, NOT Really.
I have a very small surplus of bottom-end parts that I rarely get requests for.

Unfortnatly I agree with Jeff H, while they have some value, it is not much. If you were local to me I would be interested in looking at them. But if they are pitted on the bearing surfaces and not just surface rust, they are junk.

That's kind of what I was fearing. Based on other rusty parts I have saved in the past, I would guess all the journals will need at least .010 or very possibly .020 to clean up. These days I suspect that would be pretty pricey.
