When is the best time to measure the end play during an engine rebuild, before or after installation of the cylinders and pistons, or doesn't it matter?
Thanks |

I just got done doing this, I didnt measure until after the pistons and cyls were in place, so I dont have the before measurement, but it seemed to me that the 'end play' was much greater before I installed the pistons and cyls. This makes sense as the connecting rods would have no limit on fore-aft movement without the pistons and cyls in place.
When I did measure, was spot on with my shims at .1mm. According to the factory manual, the end play is .07-1.3MM, and the wear limit is 1.5MM. This is for a 912E. |
