Spent the day today checking and furthering progress on the motor. Finals now being finished I feel nows the time to deafeat this ongoing project.
cleaned and mic'd the new and now balanced pistons, checked the rod bushing opening, seemed to be in spec though that was a tough bit to measure. Attached image(s)

This is the kicker.
measured the radial play at the flywheel (as shown) by prying from the bottom to find the freeplay. The result was a solid .005-.006 movement up and down. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) What do you guys think? One source tells me any more that .002 and its considered worn. .007 is worn out. another friend of mine questions the conclusion of this measurement. So...... need new bearings?? Thats the big decision i need to make right now. To help this assessment i have attemped to shoot the lobes of the cam, which look to be showing some wear. Maybe the pictures are worthless.. but at least they are in focus. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Attached image(s)
