Reply to "assembling con rods"

yea sorry should have updated the forum.

The problem was with the machining of the rod journals on the crank, especially on the two journals that were tight. The crank had been machined elsewhere and they had not taken it all the way to the radius, 4 of the rods were therefore two tight.

Got my machine shop to check all the big end journals and they were all spot on. They had sized them when they fitted the new ARP rod bolts but we had them re check.

Your right 4v there has to be clearance and holding the rod upright and rocking it tends to magnify that clearance and that what was confusing me.

Cheers
