Fitting Rod Bearings


Here's a picture of our crude fixture for holding the crankshaft during final bearing fitment for the rods. It's wood, so it can't mar the cranks finish and we clamp it to the table top so torquing the bolts doesn't rotate the fixture (or the rods) during the Plastigage operation. It sure beats the hell out of doing this in the block. The rods and bearings are marked for their respective journals after we've achieved the desired bearing clearances.
