[T3] 2056 bearings

[Keith Park]

Yea, Im running out of summer!
Today didnt go well, the silverline #1 is getting cocked when the case is
torqued, the Repco is in there now, also tight... something is not seating
properly, pin lining up OK, the silverline was cut for std. thrust, so I
understand that one, but not the problem with the Repco.

That should give you about a month of decent weather to finish assembly 
and break it in. ;-)Bob 65 Notch S w/sunroof

Well the silverline bearings arrived, unfortunately the box opened up a bit
and the #4 rattled around inside the #2 shells and they are rather marked
up.  The other 3 are OK though and I fitted them in the case and torqued it
and they are about .003 or about a thousandth less than the Repco, better,
but not great.  The #2 shells measured about the same as the repco

So I can use the Repco there, and they need to be fitted anyway.

 

One thing of note, with every #2 ive used in a while now, they all need to
be shaved just a bit so the case will close around them, I think this is the
main reason why build #3 had much better oil pressure than the previous
builds, I fitted the #2 shells with that build and did not do that to the
first 2 iterations.

 

so with them all fitted and torqued I have .0035 on 1 and 3 and .0025 on 2,
maybe a thousandth on the loose side but thats better than two!  Should get
the case assembled 

tomorrow and hopefully there arent any other issues.  so far so good, 

 

Keith
