I pulled my engine this past weekend to clean and paint the frame rails.
While the engine is out I measured the crankshaft endfloat with a dial
indicator. I got a reading of 0.014". The book I have says this is the
upper limit for a big bearing 1296 engine. Should I replace the thrust
bearings? Can they be replaced without removing the crankshaft, by just
removing the main cap? I'd rather do it now while the engine is out if
necessary.
Thanks
