Re: rod clearance
i understand that kind of.
this is the first time im rebuilding an engine but my rods are touching the crank girdle and everytime i rotate it wont clear it. if i notch the block will it clear the crank griddle? wouldnt it just be easier machine the bolt because the bolt doesnt clear the griddle i haven't checked the rotation of the rods in the cylinder yet. but now i see have to notch the cylinder wall as well.
flame away i dont care i just want to learn .
so hate cause thats what this ---- is made for. :1
