Probably, they don’t get very hot, I can pull off the motorway and hold my hand on it and it’s hot but won’t burn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOHC Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 Every thing was fine with the motor, all the bearings were removed and there was only some normal rubbing on the outer rod bearings witch is totally normal for a new engine, I think it wouldn’t show up with cad bearings only the copper lead 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Crc do a grey RTV which is like $12. Its probably just as shit as red and blue, but you can pretend its three bond and feel better about it...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They grey CRC stuff is actually really good, I've been very impressed by it's holding ability, just have to have clean surfaces. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mof Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Any bearings poking through the front of the housing? Do you need the thickness of a gasket for bearing preload? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, gasket is only to stop oil weeping from shift rod holes, I made the bellhousing from chopping a 4 speed truck gearbox down, I put a gasket in originaly but not sure if that good to have one as it may cause it not to sit flat?

Mof Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Can you swap the two gauges and rule out it's not a funky gauge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
