Default Re: Checking bottom end bearing clearances

[QUOTE=Licensed to kill;1529155]I don't know that you would be able to manually get the crank to move well enough to get an accurate reading. It's only a PITA trying to do it alone. Wouldn't be so bad with a helper. Be tempting to put the bolts for the front main in from the top and weld them in place turning them into studs. As if it's not bad enough to use bolts that go up from the bottom and come out on the outside of the block, then they decide to use a square head on the bolts also. WTF is up with that??.[/QUOTE]

They want you to take it back to the Ford dealer.
