Gerry and I took on the connecting rods tonight. Lotsa fun, kind of a big model. We measured the bearing to journal clearance and all were .0015" and rod side clearance was .012 to .014 on the 4 rods.
Here's Gerry torquing down the rod bolts on #2 Attached image(s)

Double checking is good... ALWAYS.. I design and engineer the kits so none of the checking is needed from guys that don't have tools or plastigage.
With the kits I mock everything up, ensure its going to clear, set the tolerances and get it 100% ready to be cleaned and then assembled... Thats why the kit is not just a box of parts- the work takes hours and hours. Using an extension on the torque wrench is fine, adding an angle to the drive (like a crows foot) is not fine and requires a correction in the torque setting to be made. |
