Re: 8ba rod bearing problem
Dont use a vernier caliper ,USE a micrometer,
Measure the crank pin diameter,(using a Mic)
Measure the bore of the rod,
Then measure the thickness of the bearing shell, using a 1 inch mic and a 5/16 dowel ,then subtract the dowel diameter from the reading and that will give you the bearing thickness.
Start with the rod diameter subtract twice the bearing thickness and you should have the crankpin size plus the clearance.
