Crankshaft was turned 10/10 and installed in a rebuilt engine that had not been run yet. Does have some light scratches on one journal and a a few gouges in a couple journals, the gouges seem like they might almost be from the factory forging.
Manufacturer Part Number:400943 Country/Region of Manufacture:United States Warranty:No

Very rare Oldsmobile 455 factory steel crankshaft, this crankshaft was most commonly found in 1968 model cars with tow packages / performance packages, like a 442 or Toronado part number is a 400943 which you can barely see in the photo, this is pretty common with these crankshafts.

This crankshaft has been turned 10/10 and rings very nicely. I got this crankshaft in a freshly rebuilt engine that had never been run, I ended up not using the crankshaft in my build.

Please look at the pictures very closely, had some very minor surface rust where the balancer slides on, but that's it for rust. It appears one journal has some very light scratching, and aside from that 2 journals have some small gouges, I am not an expert but I would assume those gouges would be from the factory forging. Like i said this was assembled in an engine ready to go, whoever ground the crankshaft didn't feel that these issues were a concern, you might want to turn the crank further, I personally wouldn't hesitate to use it as-is, none of this damage is raised off the surface.

I am not looking to rip anyone off, or miss-represent, please email me with any questions, I tried to be as accurate as possible, this is an as-is no warranty no returns deal, What you see is what you get, Thanks for looking

I will ship this via UPS Ground, its about the cheapest/safest way to ship this, it is VERY heavy, I have a crankshaft box and will package very carefully. I am not charging for materials or labor for packaging the crankshaft, just the crank and shipping.
