Main bearing ?
After getting my crankshaft polished. I plastgaged the main bearings. The results with .001 undersize bearings are.
1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th
.002 .002 .002 .002 .003
FSM specs are.
1st 2,3,4 5th
.0008-.002 .0011-.0023 .0017-.0032
I realize this is with in specs. My ? is should I drop down to .002 undersize and tighten the clearence. Or go with the .001 under.
Thanks Joe
