K.R. Wilson Main Bearing Reamer. Clearly marked 1.250. I have no reason to believe it's been ground undersize (not marked in anyway with a "new" size). Does not appear to be abused (no noticeable nicks), or worn (I did not measure it). Some surface rust. I am not familiar with pricing on these (I don't see them come up too often). Asking $150 (without shipping), but open to offers. Respond to the following email (jandulics@gmail.com) Enjoy.

Re: K.R.Wilson Main Bearing Reamer Standard Size
Unfortunately, it will be pretty much useless, unless you can find a new NOS stock crankshaft to install it with.
I have a complete KR Wilson T and A Overhaul machine, and it has all the standard Ford reamers. I don't anticipate ever using them, since every crank now is undersize by some amount. It also has 3 adjustable line reamers, so I assume the original shop owner ran into the same problem of not needing to ream to stock sizes, because there were no longer any stock crankshafts around.

Thanks Bill for the insight, makes perfect sense to me. With that said, I've reduced the price. Thanks again. New price $150

Reamers can be re-sharpened.
Could this reamer be re-ground to an under size dimension?

I have had that done. Problem is finding someone with a grinder big enough to do it. My guy closed his shop.
Last one he did for me was $450.00.

Re: K.R.Wilson Main Bearing Reamer Standard Size NEW PRICE
i bid on a bunch of large reams at an on line auction and i got 3 of the 1.25 reams plus another 5 or 6 very large reams for $8.00 i didnt realize how big they were until i picked them up, thats when if figured out what they were for. they are all about 20" or so long
of course i figured i hit the jackpot but i forgot all about the crank size being reground, thanks for pointing that out.
