Crankshaft R&I vs. Bed Plate reseal for 6.4L

[DwayneGorniak]

Has anyone else replaced a Crankshaft on a 6.4L yet? I had one that came in for an engine oil leak and a belt tensioner that was ready to jump out of the engine compartment. The tensioner was rattling that bad. Any way, the crankshaft was bent. The front snout had a runout of .004" at the front crank seal surface and the max spec is .002". It cracked the front oil pump cover which is what the oil leak was and stretched the belt.

 

Here is my issue: Crankshaft replacement pays 6007B4 13.9 hours plus Cab R&I 6007B 6.1 hours.

Bed plate reseal pays 6007B38 12.9 hours and does not include engine R&I, plus the cab R&I of 6007B 6.1 hours.

 

What are they smoking?

 

 

I am filing for a request for review of this. I want to know what some your opinions are and I was wondering if some of you guys are going to file a claim for review of the times. I think that it would have a better chance of being reviewed if more than just one request is put in.

Wow, nobody else done a crank on one of these yet? They stock them in our Edmonton parts depot which is an hour and a half from me and that scares me to know that they stock cranks for these engines.

Not surprised to see them out your way, as you guys seem to see all the parts breakage first due to the amout of these things running around the oil patch.
