It doesn't quite make sense to me.... sorry. thank you..... I can kinda guess- are you talking about what prevents the crankshaft from sliding fore/aft in the main bearings? One of the main bearings should have a "flange" that acts as a thrust bearing, and the allowable amount that the crank can move fore/aft is called "Crankshaft End Play" and should be in the specification table for the engine in the service manual. Or are you talking about the actual gap between the bearings and the crank journals? That should be measured with Plastigauge (or a micrometer). You should find those specs under "Main bearing Clearance" and "Rod Bearing Clearance" in the FSM. |
