Started to reassemble the 1275.
The machine shop said that crank did not need a grind and that standard
bearing would work. Plastigauge on the main bearing indicates a .003
clearance. This is at best at the high end of the tolerance. So I guess it is
a new machine shop and a grind.
I haven't checked the rod bearings yet.
Anyone know a good machine shop in the NY metro area?
Thrust bearings are tight. I actually can't get both in. So I plan on taking
.001 off of each one.
The new cam, fells stiff when I hand turn it. Should this be the case? I did
leave the bolts on the oil pump loose, and it was still stiff.
The new tappets do not "drop by there own weight" Can I use emery paper to
hand hone these?
