Title: Crank rebuilding using Electrochemical Metallizing
Post by: sandblaster on July 07, 2011, 04:21:25 AM
Chuck, the owner of Oregon Electrochemical Metallizing has finally moved into his new shop.
He specializes in plating and repairing damaged bearing surfaces as well as other applications.
His web site is here: http://www.o-e-m.net/ (http://www.o-e-m.net/)
New shop phone/fax:  541-998-3325
Cell phone is still  541-912-6061
As an example, if you have one bearing journal that is bad he can repair and plate it for 125.
If both bearing journals are bad he can repair and plate them for 187.50.
If the rod pin hole in the crank halves is worn out he can repair and plate them for 75-100.
If your engine cases are worn out by a few thousands of an inch where the main bearings go, he can plate the OD of your bearings for 75-90 per bearing.
If you have specific questions, call or email him.

It's been a while since I spoke to him.
He may be retired  :?

Seems he was bought out by another company, which I called and was told they don't do automotive or motorcycle work.

Well that stinks... But surely there must be others that do this process...

Arrow machine works bought the o-e-m company and he still does the plating. He is going to plate .004 on to my bearing, so we'll see how that works
