Hello,
I'm busy with my 5E engine , but my crank is damaged and has to go to the machine shop. The guy from the machine shop says to use 0.002''rod and main bearing clearance it doesn't sound right. I have read that the mains have to be a little tighter than the rod bearings.
I have bought 1st oversize KING main, rod bearings and thrust washers.
I'd really like to know which main and rod bearing clearance are good for a 5efte engine.
should i use the the clearance from the 5E shop manual?
Main bearings:
Oil Clearance
Standard Crankshaft MM (inch)
Standard ....................... .0006-.0014 (.016-.035)
Wear Limit ................................ .0031 (.080)
.010" (.25 mm) Undersize Crankshaft
Standard ....................... .0006-.0022 (.016-.055)
Wear Limit ................................ .0031 (.080)
Rod bearings:
Oil Clearance
Standard Crankshaft
Standard ....................... .0006-.0019 (.016-.048)
Wear Limit ................................ .0031 (.080)
.010" (.25 mm) Undersize Crankshaft
Standard ....................... .0006-.0023 (.016-.058)
Wear Limit ................................ .0031 (.080)
