A question to all regarding crankshaft and flywheels.
My 1931 has an earlier engine from around 1928/29. When I bought the car, the engine was fitted with the earlier 1 1/8" crank along with a 1 1/8" flywheel.
Since the old crank was heavily ground, I decided to bring in a new crankshaft which is 1 5/16" so now the crank rear end won't fit into the flywheel.
Should we skim the end of the crank to fit through the flywheel or do we skim the flywheel to the size of the crank? Which is the better option?
Thank you in advance.
