Yes I dont want to remove crank if I can help it. Seeing "something" on 3 rod bearings doesnt make me comfy tho. I thought i was meticulous in cleaning but obviously not. I'll pull 1 main cap at a time and leave the rear alone. Dbl chk endplay again once it's all torqued back up. Got 3 new rod bearings so I'll plastigauge them to be safe.
You can't plastigauge because it's all lubed, and you will only be able to see 1/2 of the bearing shell without pulling the crank. In your original post it looked like you did everything meticulously when you installed the crank......So why pull it apart? If you are super super concerned, I would sacrifice the rear main and start over. Just my $0.02.
Yes, documenting and for advice purposes. I've got everything bought(I think), now it's just time/labor. The biggest part is finishing up my DIY port job on x heads. Gotta crunch #'s too for compression.
My initial thread build starts out on page 7 with this engine. Took me 7 pages to get my $hit together lol. But I've documented quite a few numbers/weights/specs in the initial thread.
Thanks guys. :thumbsup:
Plan today is check main caps, endplay. Plastigauge 3 rod bearings...
