Default Re: "help"

When putting any engine together, after the crankshaft is in and seals and bearings are finished you MUST turn the crank several turns.
After that after installing each piston and torquing the rod bear you must turn it again, at least two complete turns if it seams ok. Do that after each piston and rod are installed.
Before putting the piston in you must oil the cylinder all the way down and put plenty of oil in the ring area.
Either put gear oil or assembly lube on the rod bearings, mains too.
I check each bearing clearance with plasti-gage before the final torque.
