Default Re: How tight is tight?

PeterJ, if journal clearance seems OK, then check to see if the rod is hanging up on the radius portion of the bearing and crank. Look for shiney spots on the bearing thrusts and radius that indicate tightness. Scrape the shiney (high) spots.
Also when tightening the rod, centralize the cap. Ted
