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'd say slow the movement down, but it shouldn't have stopped it. You do have to be more forceful to properly/fully move the endplay. I also turn the flywheel a bit as you do this. After you have done it back and forth a few times it should be slightly easier to move.
Some builders do not like moly on engine bearings. Old builders are funny, hate to try new new things and like to stick with what has worked for them in the past. I mix oil with a bit of blue (not red) STP as assembly lube. I dip the pushrod ends in STP as I assemble. This is the only time I ever use STP. This is Type one and 4 engines. For the /6 I used Clevite 77 assembly lube, mostly because there are more sealants to contaminate if you drip oil during assembly. It's not super thick I'd say halfway between an oil and grease, but it sticks and won't drip off. I liked the Clevite lube and it's made by Mahle, I'd think Clevite/Mahle should know a bit about bearings. |
