318 LA rebuild after losing a valve seat

The crank I bought as a reman .040 under. Not quite sure why I did that, maybe just because the old crank was .040? Newbie mistake.

I'm going to give a closer look at the bearings tomorrow.


You should be able to rotate the crank by hand with just the crank in, and after installing up to 4 pistons, after that it starts getting too tight to turn by hand and you will need a socket and ratchet to rotate it...
