Clearance between crank and connecting rods

Post by Papabear2121 » Thu Jun 27, 2019 8:03 am

Started final assembly of my 22 motor. New valves, lifters and rings. Ready to shim but need the specs for connecting rods to cram. Engine is original specs.

Fit the bearings with time saver yellow and it will give you the right clearance.
