Here's my embarassing story:
Installing the crank - I did everything right when using the plastigage. During the final torquing I rushed, knowing I was on the clock with the gasket maker, and forgot to line up the nose bearing with the roll pin. I first suspected something was off when a stud began to pull out (#11 in the sequence) on 2nd and final stage (37 ft/lbs). I left it and finished torquing. The crank wouldn't rotate at all. So the bearing is out of round and the roll pin is crushed into the block. I took 2 spare nuts and bottomed them out on the stud and got the stud back in place, for now. Need: 1. A front bearing without buying the whole set 2. A machine shop that will safely remove the pin. Should they be welding anything to the pin, or using a 3. The appropriate pin replacement. N10109001 works? It looks more like a solid dowel 4. To remove the problem stud and re-apply threadlocker? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks |
