[Fot] Measuring crank end float / main cap torque?

[Steven Belfer]

Hi gang, here are a couple of questions that are pretty basic but  
very important.  also, its hard to find the answers in the books.
here goes...

Question 1: crank end float.  Is this measurement to be taken on both  
sides of the center main cap?
Should I push the crank all the way one direction and then measure  
the gap, then do the other side?  or..  should I position the crank  
in the middle and see that the gap is equal on both sides?


Question 2:  Should I torque the main cap bolts to the recommended  
90lbs?  or do you guys go a little higher for racing?


Thanks!
