[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 154781, member: 3426"] Thanks for the reply. As far as I know the cases haven’t been altered on the split line. The cases are NOS, so who knows what transpired at the factory. When I measured, I took the rod side play into account. When measuring the gap on the drive side, I made sure the rod was all the way towards the timing side and vice versa. The total gap ( both sides of the rods) is equal on both cylinders. Not sure what that tells me other than my measurements may be in the ballpark. I tried several ways of measuring… calipers, snap gauge, bore gauge and couldn’t get consistent results, so opted for the old liner/piston setup and feeler gauges. I’m reasonably sure the crank was sitting all the way home against the E91 bearing. I put some downward pressure on the quill and locked it in place. They are new Carrillo rods, so should be straight. ps… I took a new pin and it will slide through both small end bushings (at the same time) very smoothly. That indicates to me that the rods are straight. If one or both of the rods were bent, I would assume the pin would make a fuss going through there. [/QUOTE]
