Yes Errol I have tested for bearing crush on all the main on rod bearings
and they all equal 2 thou which I was told is perfect. (Using a
flexigauge).
BTW the crankshaft moved ever so smoothly whily the pistons were out.
I was just concerned cause I'm really taking my time building this motor to
make sure it's perfect and I wanted to check before I popped the head on
this weekend. Is there anything else I should watch out for?
Thanks Errol
