Yes, I am rather interested in what the diagnosis will be also....

As nothing seems to make sense.

Could it be a bent cank?

Kinda along the similar lines,

I had a GTiR pulsar rallycar that I sold with run Bearings.(because I was sick of fixing it)

They found the crank was warped and ordered a brand new one from Japan ($1200!).

When they fitted the crank to the block they then found the block was bent too!!

Although they are an ally block so may be more prone to bending?

i think that was checked

Yea, I mean, Lynn Rogers is a reputable name in the business (Just like another Rogers we know! (No I don't want anything! (Yet))) and I would think he'd pick up on something like that.

Yeah, surely the crank would have shown itself as 'bent' during balancing, if it was.

I dont know.

I dropped the block off to Lynns this morning, and he said he will hopefully check it out tomorrow some time.

Will let y'all know when I hear back.

If you have a feeler gague you could check yourself for bearing crush.
1. Fit caps and bearings and torque up
2. Loosen one bolt on each cap.
3. measure the gap with feeler gague.

Should be between .08mm & .13mm (industry standard)

by **RomanV** » Thu Feb 02, 2006 9:25 pm

Well the block/crank/bearings is at Lynns workshop now, so its out of my hands.

Hopefully it wont be anything major.

oh shit, i didnt realize that the crank wasnt fitting the journal without the caps in place.

hehe lynn didnt mix up the cranks and send you a 2zzge one did he? :lol:

by **RomanV** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 12:18 am

Maybe that's why he was eager to get it back, so he could swap them back over. :lol:

by **Mr Revhead** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 10:22 am

hell its almost worth putting $$ on!

by **RomanV** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 10:24 am

That reminds me, time to give him a call, and pester him into submission.

by **RomanV** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 2:21 pm

Well Mr Markham has got some explaining to do. :twisted:

It turns out that I had the wrong caps, and they were sitting on his other engine at the workshop.
So they've been switched over, and everything appears to be fine so far.

by **fivebob** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 2:34 pm

oops

That explains the unexplainable then

by **RomanV** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 2:37 pm

And here I was, hoping to pin it on Revhead. :twisted:

Im glad it was nothing serious, but I'll be sure to give Anthony a ribbing next time I see him. :lol:

by **Mr Revhead** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 2:40 pm

bastard! i didnt doubt myself for a second

glad its sorted, time to get it running!
