Binky250 Posted July 14, 2012 Report Posted July 14, 2012 Ive been searching around and havent been able to find the specs for the play in the rod at the crank, can anyone help me out and maybe explain which movment i should be checking for, side to side or up and down and how much, thanks! Quote
Binky250 Posted July 14, 2012 Author Report Posted July 14, 2012 zero up and down and minimal side to side. thanks for quick response. my left rod is moving about 1/8 of an inch back and forth from center. right rod a hair tighter almost unnoticeable difference. i am measuring this at top of the rod, it is a bit tighter at bottem but can't get in to really measure exactly. could this looseness cause piston damage? also if you happen to know, about how much it should cost to get stock bottom end redone please let me know. thanks Quote
Binky250 Posted July 15, 2012 Author Report Posted July 15, 2012 1/16 side to side. thanks for replying. trying to see if i should get bottom end done, while i already have top end torn down. Quote
Paulie B Posted July 15, 2012 Report Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) This is how I check my rod bearings. This works for both the upper and lower. Pull your rod all the way to TDC. Wack it with the palm of your hand. If you hear a 'tink' then it's time for a rebuild. Edited July 15, 2012 by Paulie B Quote
