nitriding by the pound from KustomKemps

[lynn peterson <kustomkemps@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I'm glad to see that I have generated some
chatter accross the ether. Some people think that
nitriding is super expensive, but it is not. In fact,
we nitride BY THE POUND, with a 100lb. minimum.
Therefore, the more cranks we have in a run, the
cheaper it is. Example: if you sent a crank from Ohio
to the shop in Portland, Or, and did not have a UPS
account, it would run about $170 to ship the crank
both ways. (We prefer Forward Air) This is more than
$100 over the cost of the nitriding. Except for one
engine, all the motors we build run offset ground 2"
SBC journals with a couple of 1.88" NASCAR size thrown
in. The possibility exists that we could have a crank
that is harder in one area than another. We feel that
any crank that might be cut beyond the factory
hardness level will be better for the process. (does
anyone know what depth the AMC cranks were hardened to
from the factory?_
