Engine rebuild

[SAndreasen]

Well I got totally screwed on my 700$ worth of machine work it looks like . Went to measure the main bearing clearance to crankshaft journal and I come up with 2 thousandths and 5 hundredths of an Inch oil clearance spec is 4 thousandths 7 hundredths according to the book. Going to grab some Plasti gauge and check again see what it comes up with . This crank and Block do not belong together I specifically told them to check all that but they didn’t

You might want to try a different set of main bearings from a different manufacturer.

I talked to a local mechanic and said anything over 1 9 Is perfect

I recall reading a few threads about this kind of stuff.

If you think they missed these measurements might be good to ask them what they did so you know what to double check.

I recall a few threads about and oil galley plug deal that often gets left out, just while your on the theme of overlooked items on a fresh rebuild.

Might be a good thread for that "there is always one more thing"
