Machine shop says crank okay. Wants old main bearing
caps to do work on the crank (which needs machining down 10,000ths).
About main bearing caps: I noted front to back which
position they were removed 1-4. Can't say that I didn't
remove a bolt and put back on a different side -- though
I don't think I did this --
So I've read putting them back into same place is important.
Would it matter if the placement orientation is correct,
but the bolt that was on the left is now on the right?
How perfect does this have to be?
I think this was on my original parts list for new. So
if they are new, does the machinist need the new ones
to turn the crank to the necessary spec or can I give him
the old to use for his purposes and place new when received?
Also, my rod from cylinder #4 was busted. Do you know if
I can replace just that one rod? Is it now necessary to
replace all six? If I buy one, does it have to be
machined to the crank by the shop?
Finally, is it better to have the machine shop place
things like crank, pistons and thrust washers?
Enough for now? Whewwww.
