Re: 26 Tmotor
Jack, i tried moving the crank back and forth with a pry bar but there is no give. however you can insert a feeler guage about 1/2 way around between the crank and thrust bearing, it's just dead nuts tight at a couple spots, he said it should just wear in.
The crank has been turned, and the rods are new with shims, so i guess he'll have to remove shims and hone the rods to fit better. as far as the main saddles go he didn't use any shims in the rebuild so may have to re babbit and i didn't mention it but the rear main cap has a large void in the babbit from contamination most likely.
The builder in question is located in Warrsaw NY and is called valve-en-blocks and came highly recommended by Macs auto parts .
Thanks
Scott
