John---It's good that you got the bearing shell out, but tell us all what you
think the problem was!

Subject: [6pack] Stuck Main Bearing-Solved
A fresh start this morning must have re-aligned the stars and moon(s). A
sleepless night thinking of ALL the options short of the use of TNT, a fresh
cup of coffee and way we went along trails unknown.
All went back together with all your help and suggestions. BTW, the oilway is
5/32" and a drill bit did the job.
Just waiting on the oil pan gasket to cure and the GRAND START-UP will
commence.
Thanks again for all the help and Happy Easter.
John
I'm doing #3 main bearing and started with #4 and the Thrust washers. No
problem with them. But I just can't get the top of #3 past half way around.
It's now stuck. I stopped before I did some damage.
Tried tapping (with an alum. bar). Turning with the crankshaft rotating and
using the oil way and pin as a push. Loosening up #4 and #2 for some slack but
with no luck. Using Permatex red goop for assembly lube.
Now it's stuck (#3 top half).
What is best to do?
Loosen #1?
Con rods went well. And now in the final stretch.
Please help. Maybe a 2 LB. mallet is in order.
Many thanks
John
Greasy and frustrated.
