All set to reassemble my 100/6 engine. The front and rear main bearing caps
are a very tight fit. I assembled the crank/caps to check clearances and all
is well with a measurement with plastigauge exactly between 0.0015" and
0.002". Exactly the same clearance on all journals at 75ft*lbs.
It seems like I should make the front and rear mains fit more easily and am
resisting the temptation to take some 600 grit paper on a piece of glass to
the sides. I can put it together as is and get the clearance I need on the
journal.
Just wondering if this is a problem worth addressing.
any thoughts?
