Buccaneer Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I find this thread very interesting and await the outcome. What was the clearance on the rod and main bearings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sidewinder Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I find this thread very interesting and await the outcome. What was the clearance on the rod and main bearings? Tom beat me to it. Did you have to buy thirty over bearings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cross Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 No I had the machine shop double check me since a few brought it up here. I polished the crank and used standard bearings. There was hardly any wear on anything even the Cyl. walls when I told them it had over 150,000 they were all very surprised. Honestly I could have left it alone but well... I am not good at leaving things alone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I polished the crank and used standard bearings. Did you mean that you took the motor to a machine shop and had them take the caps off and check the clearances and that "you" polished the crank or the shop? Just trying to follow all this, that's all. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cross Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 I could not find a cam bearing tool so I paid the shop to remove and install my new cam bearings and polish the crank. They also want to check things so I brought them the cam out of the motor and the crank obviously and rod caps and they checked everything for me. I then picked it back up and I handled the crank and rod bearings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cross Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 There is always some damn thing... the Drivers side Valve Cover does not fit the Roller Rockers hit the Baffle it appears in the Valve Cover... tomorrow I am going to remove it but I want to sit down with a beer and relax before I kick something... However the cam has been degree'd at the Comp Settings of 110, everything seems great and so far the lash is set right we shall see with the lifters pumped up tomorrow after I fix the VC issue. Oh I took some more pictures of the build along the way let me upload them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I've heard that after market rockers some times require the valve cover baggle be ground down in order to get proper clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
