Hi well anyone who remembers me I feel bad as I've forgotten the names of most who
have helped me in the past, nothing personal I just have an aweful memory for faces
and names.
Here is where I'm at, I am transplanting the 1500 engine I got from bill gingrich
into my spitfire this weekend. I dare not hope it is running proper, but from what
bill was told it should be, and if it is great! My old engine tore up the bottom end
and I will be rebuilding it this summer. I took the bottom of the new engine to check
that the bottom is tight, and it is much tighter than my old one which had rods with
about 1/8 inch freeplay on the crankshaft from the back to the front (of the car)
sorry my tech talk is poor I'm sure..... so now to the point and the question, The new
engine has a very tiny bit of play in comparison on each rod end, between
.381mm/.015in to .432mm/.017in that was with sticking a feeler in there it was in
there tight for these measuremnents and the .432 was only on one rod, the other 2 were
.381 and one was .406/.016in Are these values exceptable for a good running spit
engine? and if not are they so over the limit that this engine would p!
rob
ibally need a new crankshaft? and finally does any of this make any sense? :P if not
please help me make it make sense. I want to put the engine in on payday/friday, but
have no qualms with oredering new bearing and doing the deed, or god forbid choosing
which engine to throw a new crankshaft in.
thanks, sorry I'll get better at this in time.
Todd
