Sep 23, 2016     Crankshaft & Connecting Rod Assembly - (3 hours)       Category: Engine
Crank placed in freezer for 24 hours prior to assembly.Timing gear and prop hub heat soaked in oven at 500degF for two hours to get a blue color on the cam timing gear. Main bearing #1 oil supply hole enlarged to 1/8" with the outboard end chamfered slightly. Assembled with JEG's assembly lube, part number: 555-28000. Engine assembly stand slide bolt was loose resulting in crank falling onto my foot/toes after assembly. (ouch!).

Used Plastigauge green to check main bearing bores. Clearances OK. Cleaned bores, connecting rod layout per photo. Connecting rods caps with hex nuts and ACV-P06-33 part number, but no 'star' head. Used red Loctite and 'clean' torque progression per step 5 to 8/15/24/30 ft-lbs.
