Rod Bearing Fun
|
Mike S
While pulling the oil pump for a possible rebuild, I was fingering the rod bearings & thought that a couple of them "felt" loose. I pulled #3 and am not pleased with the way it looks. Besides all the speckles on the surface, the bearing has a pronounced "copper" look to it (but I've not been around Crosley bearings before....just giant studebaker ones). Tomorrow I'll plasti-gage it to see what the clearance really is. The crank journal looks smooth with only a couple tiny marks.
The thing that really puzzles me is this motor was very quiet with no rattling or knocking. What options are there for replacement bearings? Mike S

Are undersizes available? I'll plastigage all the journals tomorrow & see what I'm looking at.

Hmmm...looking thru the shop manual, there are no specs listed for the diameters of the crank journals. Can the limits be found anywhere?
