Talking about end play on my cam and those issues makes
me want to revisit....you might have guessed.....
but the old thrust washers again. Dang!
Installed crank and acheived no discernable end play in
the crank. Seemed to turn well by hand. Didn't, like,
continue turning if I gave it a hard twist, but turned
pretty easily by hand. Felt true. Felt good about it.
So the question: Does the crank require -- emphasis on the
word "require" -- end play?
I thought if the thing turned well with no end play, meant it
was good machining and better than having some end play.
Thinking to load the engine in the bed of my truck and
deliver the whole mess to the machine shop for a look at
my cam retainer issue.
Hope I don't hear I need to drop the oil pan, pull the
thrust washers and have them shaved to get a little end
play.
