When does one decide a case has to be align bored? I have a GC case that I am getting ready to take to the shop to check for register collapse but have no idea what the criteria might be to consider align boring.
Thanks in advance! |

What is the rough amount of crush we are looking for? 1 or 2 thou?
Is this as simple as measuring the case ID and the new bearing OD? Ideally the crushed bearing/crank clearance wants to be around 2 thou as far as I know (running clearance) And I agree 100%, do not align bore a case unless it is absolutely necessary. Most of us are not taking our T4's to the track, just want a bit more kick. |
