[QUOTE="Hilly_70, post: 610819, member: 4142"] Cheers Abel .. I put the cases together and even used plastigage in between the case halfs next to the bearings and saw no light through the crank gaps and the plastigage went down to 0.002 so I dont think it is the line bore thats out .. I also found this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLyrcHonVxo I think this is the issue .. how I now rectify without replacing it or the bearings im not sure yet .. My next step is to check it for round with the micrometer to see if its out of round or crank run out.. I guess this is the learning curve of building an engine though! :) ... at least I have all winter. Hilly [/QUOTE]
