Friends,
I would like some advice as to clearances of bearings on a 1-5/16 crank . I have an engine 29-30, that broke a crank ( was1-1/8) but have a 1-5/16 crank that is round and within a thou or so of original size. I also have a nice looking set of rods that have been remetalled smaller and wider, which could be machined again to fit.
This is by way of a "practice" solo rebuild, as My Mechanic friend has left the building, and I have to sort out Two others, (but these are 1-1/2 Phoenix cranks) This car is used very little.
Also, for maching purposes, can someone please tell me the exact distance between centres- Gudgeon pin to Big end.
Any other comments or ideas- all wellcome.
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers, Peter (in OZ)
