OK, I understand the reason WHY you align bore the case, got it. My question with the 914 case is bearing selection after it is done.
Now, rebuilding my MG engine and selecting bearings was easy, measure the journals and choose the size needed. The 914 case however has a set on the journal and a set on the case. If I have to align bore the case is there a special consideration on bearing selection or do I just measure journals and get a bearing set that accounts for the difference based on balancing of the crank. May be an obvious question to some but I am confused and want to make sure I rebuild the engine correctly and order the right parts. |

Chances are pretty good that you wil not have to get your case line bored.
Jake says he is seeing some but not all. Type IV case is considerably more stout that type 1. If you line bore you should also get the registeres decked or squared to the new plane of the crank shaft. Cheaper to buy another case IMHO. |
