how do you dial indicate....
the face of the thrust bearing? my engine is being gone through right now, and i want to know how you can check the trueness/squareness of the number 4 main cap.
i had a very irregular wear pattern on my forward thrust bearing that gave out on the dyno,(no tranny load..) it looks as if the cap is leaning torwards the front a bit, causing wear on the bottom half of the shell only. there is next to no contact on the upper/block forward half, but the lower/cap half is worn down over .002 or more. the endplay was at .008 at the rebuild, and was over .012 at teardown. the backside of the lower/cap half has almost no contact either...... anyway, he is going over the engine now, but i want to know how others check the squareness, so i have some comparison of knowledge when we talk about it. also, if the cap is leaning, do you cut it and reline hone? i am not well versed in machining, so thanks for the patience...... any info or help on this issue would be greatly appreciated, i really want this to be the last time i deal with this engine not cooperating..... thanks folks!!!! davey
