Hello,
Well, I have all the parts back and am ready to assemble the bottom end,
but I have some questions! (go figure)
- I need to check the clearance for the crank to bearings, rings gaps,
crank to thrust washers, con rod to crank, and pistons to cylinder (can
you confirm? Did I miss or add anything)
What do I do if it's out of tolerance? That is not written anywhere in
the Haynes manual! I imagine for the piston to cylinder walls, I return
it to the machine shop, but for the others...
To check the crank to other things clearances, I use a plastigage, but
to do that, I need to torque the whole thing to spec... Is it then ok to
untorque, remove the gage, check it and retorque with the same bolts?
Any other gotchas that I might have missed?
Regards, cyrille
