I finally got my main and rod clearances where I wanted them, this is my first build so I am pretty much p-noid about screwing something up. So my question is, is it normal for the bearings to sometimes kind of fall out of place when taking the main caps off? Or rod caps for that matter? Sorry if its a dumb question, just need to know from experience. Thanks in advance.

 

How are you checking clearances?

 

Just using plastiguage. I heard it wasnt uncommon, but I just wanted to hear more about it.

 

are those the new bearings dave?

 

Yea, I changed the bearings in numbers 2 and 3 and I think I am gonna go with what I got... I gotta get her goin again bro!
