Re: Bearing clearance
I've just been through the exercise of fitting full floaters in preparation for reassembly of a 1939 Merc engine (keystone block) and thought others might benefit from what I learned in the process. I started by watching Dale Hay's YouTube video (from 2015) to get an idea of what the 'fit' should look/feel like.
I like Ron Holleran's thoughts on this subject but, never having been able to find any detail regarding the procedure involved, decided I'd write down what I did and the tips I think are pertinent (along with a few photos) in the attached PDF document.
Feel free to weigh in if I'm off base on anything or you can recommend additional tips!
