what you mean 2 bolts in back flange,
cranks bolted down atm and i can turn it with minimal effort also i understand that it is common practice to moly lube the thrust, but what about the other bearings i was thinking some moly lube?? any ideas

Thats a bit tight. A linish would get you pretty close and won't cost much, your rod bearing should measure at 0.050mm to 0.055mm the mains really should be closer to 0.060 to 0.065. Like i said 0.001 per inch of journal. OR 0.0254mm per 25.4mm of journal. We have already been over this earlier in the thread. please read it and think for your self. |
