Default Re: Rebuilding my Flathead random questions

Thank you. Found that on google too! Appreciate it.

I may have made a MISTAKE. please advise if I should redo my rod bearings. In the book it says to fit the main bearings to the crank via some persuasion from a hammer. It didn’t say that for the rod bearings but I fit the rod bearings with the crank but then they seemed a little loose (some not all) in the rod journal and rod cap. Should I have not fit these bearings to the crank and left them snug in the cap and rod journal? If so, I may buy new bearings. Or am I overthinking it? Essentially, some of the rod beatings seemed a little loose (or just not snugly fit) when I put them in the cap and rod.
