I am getting ready to put my short block together and I have what appears to be a fairly new crank.
Main bearing journals: 2.361. The bearings appear to be new unused STD-STD. When I put on the main bearing that goes directly beneath the cam gear dry and wiggle it I get ~4 thousandths "wiggle" when measured with a dial indicator stuck to the flywheel. Does that sound correct? Would that be considered two thousandths bearing clearance (2 on each side = 4)? Stu |
