It is a thin piece of plastic that goes on the journal before you put the cap on. After installing the cap and torquing to proper specs, the c; /html/mgs/2006-08/msg00268.html (8,582 bytes)

The manufacturing tolerances on it are not as tight, plus the age of it can affect how it behaves. The reason that pl; /html/mgs/2006-08/msg00270.html (8,136 bytes)

When you go to buy the stuff you need to have in mind what the approximate clearance will be. Say your rod clearance is suppo; /html/mgs/2006-08/msg00288.html (8,553 bytes)

OTOH, maybe he is.... I think I'd ask around among the LBC racing fraternity. Cheers, CR; /html/mgs/2006-08/msg00289.html (7,783 bytes)

I think "tolerance" is the wrong word here.

Also we were running harder bearings that didn't allow particles to embed in them like babbit doe; /html/mgs/2006-08/msg00317.html (8,397 bytes)

Correct, clearance is the correct word. With the motor being supercharged, the tighter clearance means that the rod would not bang as; /html/mgs/2006-09/msg00103.html (7,523 bytes)
