Alright, had to ask, as it's no different than most engines -- start from the middle cap and work your way out in an alternating pattern. Torque value is according to bolt/stud manufacturer spec.I think I read at some point that the Chilton...
Absolutely should make sure.
It's been laid out what you need and how you basically need to do it earlier. But getting thinks checked by professionals isn't a bad alternative.
Plastigauge can also be used but it's not as exact as a good quality...
The manual I have downloaded does not have a picture of the sequence which is why I'm asking on a forum, secondly yes I have alot of people with engine building experience at my corner I appreciate the concern.
Measure the crank journal with a micrometer, then zero your bore gauge off that mic. Put the bore gauge in the corresponding main journal to measure the clearance.As mentioned .002”-.003” is great for a street performance build.
Was wondering what the main bearing clearance should be with the bearings in std. Size acl race bearings,crankshaft has already been measured and polished right at standard spec.
Yes, as long as if they are still in good working condition, the late evo's stock beehive springs and duralumin retainers can be considered as upgrade from DSM stock.
I already mentioned which springs to use, the Kiggly steel street. They are proven. If you don't want to put the money into springs/retainers, don't bother with cams.
If they are in tolerance no line hone is required. But chances are they won't be. You'll need someone to check this, as you won't have the gauge for it. Typically when you upgrade the fasteners it squeeze the cap harder and reduces the...
