Tight Bearings
I haven't posted a question for several years but this is now my third post in as many weeks.Have received some good help from the members. My 1930 roadster was getting a wee bit noisy so I pulled the engine and tightened up the main and conn rod bearings to what I thought was between .001 and 0.002 using plasti-guage. At the end (I now realize that I should have checked as I went along) I now find that it takes a real effort to get it to break loose to even start to turn over, but then it rotates smoothly with about 35 ft.lbs effort.
Start from the beginning again checking clearances?
Would appreciate all advice.
Thank you,
George
