Crankshaft End Play
How do you check crankshaft end play? I have dial indicator. Should rods be removed first?

You can. Just push or pry the shaft fore and aft. Factory specs are .004” to .007”
It will move easy. |

Thanks. I need to check bearing clearances as well. Hopefully my babbit is good.

Re: Crankshaft End Play
Checked out at just under .015", about double the maximum tolerance. After pulling rods and pistons I've decided to do full rebuild with new babbit. I aim to put this old truck to work so I want it right. As someone said, the AA needs 100% of the engine just to get out of it's own way.
