New Crank bearings, crank won't rotate


It's all cool buddy... we all need to walk away sometimes... just don't burn the world down while your pissed. Usually it all makes sense after you get some cool down time.

I haven't been inside one of these engines in decades, but Big John was on the right path and many others here could tell you right off the top of their heads.

One suggestion, and you may not need it... If you have any doubts, re-measure the crank after you use a standard to make certain your micrometer is calibrated. The correct bearing John calculated was 3 thousandths, not 30. Before you spend the machine shop money, it would be good to just verify that your not closer to standard size and have more options.

No more comments from the cheap seats here... I think everything you've done so far has been awesome...
