Ok, so I had my crank milled. It took them forever and when I got it back I was told that the rods were now .020 and the main .010. So I order bearings. Well I got a set off ebay and theyre apparently too small. There was some size difference some point in 67. So I order ones for a 68. Of course they were back ordered. Eventually they arrived and appeared to fit. We torqued them down to spec and each and every main bearing cap is now CRACKED!!! When removed, the plastic gauge wasnt even affected. After measuring the mains were fine, and I could have just got normal bearings instead of some fancy milled number.
Someone here might ask why we didnt measure ourselves in the first place... ...well, we're not professionals, they were. Do you question what a doctor prescribes you? No, you just take it, assuming they know what theyre talking about. If you die because they prescribed the wrong thing, is it your fault?
I dont know how much main bearing caps cost, I just Victoria British doesnt sell them. Anyone know someone that does. My husbands emailing Spit Bits right now
