Subject: Team3S: Which 1 is # 1?
 
Greetings,
 
Please excuse this seemingly dumb question. I've been through my shop manual
(almost) cover to cover, but can't find a designation for cylinder numbers.
 
I assume # 1 cylinder is on the front (belted) end of engine, but is it the radiator side or the firewall side?
 
Lash me a thousand times for this one, but I've come too far on this to take ANY chances.
 
Thank you,

150 plus shipping??!?!?!   The cheapest new is usually from Titan 
Motorsports - but I've NEVER seen it below 400...  If I didn't already have one
in each of my cars id take it ;-).  Best boost controller on the market. 
Whoever goes for this is getting a sweet deal.

#1 is on the front bank, driver's side.  Odd in the front bank, even in the rear bank.
 
From the front of the car, it'd look like:
 
6 4 2
5 3 1

Subject: Team3S: Crankshaft
 
Greetings,
 
After spending 2 hours of reading the archives on the subject of crankshafts, I am more confused than before!
 
Six weeks ago I purchased a '92 Dodge Stealth RT/TT (mid year production
number) which came through the Chevy dealership I work for.  10 miles after I changed the oil (sludge) and replaced it with Mobil 1, I spun a rod bearing.  The net result is my employer will buy the parts necessary for rebuild, I do the work.
 
The engine is now torn down and I am ready to present my list.  The head of the service dept stated he would not go for a new crank, that he can get a re-manufactured crank (with all bearings) from one of his sources for a fraction of cost of new.
 
All the archived discussion on these cranks being nitrided or not has me in a quandary.  I sure as heck don't want to put it all back together with a crank that will give me bearing failure as soon as I start driving it (again)!
 
In addition to the parts the dealer is providing, I am replacing (with stock
components) all those things that should be replaced while the engine is out.
 
Is there a definitive answer to whether or not a "remanufactured" crank is acceptable in this instance?  Are the stock cranks in any way treated which would prevent acceptable "remanufacturing"?
 
Thank You,
Jonathan Arthurs
