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 |

It should not change if the parts are all in spec.
It's all about the crankshaft movement, the rods should not stop it or they are rubbing where they should not be rubbing. |

When I rebuilt the 912 engine I followed Harry Pellows advice... Harry is supposed to be a guru in the 912 engine world. Harry recommends making up a assembly lube from equal parts of mos2 grease and STP its pretty viscous stuff. Here comes the stupid question.. could this gook have stopped the con rods sliding on the crank and piston pins? The engine started and runs no problem. |
