Crap, the block needs to be notched when using pauter rods on a 5e? Thought i read somewhere it wasn't necessary.

Mate, my 5e had to be notched to fit the pauter rods. i fitted them without notching first and crank wouldnt turn over as there was an obstruction. so notching is a must with pauter rods.

Aye mine needed notched with 5E pauter rods. I think in the 4E it doesn't need notched with pauters.

so how much has to be notched does any one have a picture guys what can be used to do this, is it just grinding out a bit for the conrod to be free or all round the lip of the bore

I just built a 5EFTHE and these are the rods i used . they work great but i spinned a bearing but it was the tolerence on the con rod bearings and the thrust bearing that was off .I bought a brand new crank from toyota and i will be using a plastiguage to measure the right size con rod beaingsOH and you might want to use a dremil to notch the block because they is alot more to be taken off than on the 4EFTE.

 

[Dan-The-Glanza-Man]

what colour plastigauge did you use and what size bearings wear you using at the moment

 

[braindamage]

well i messed up and did not use the plastiguage the first time around and i use ACL bearings but when i change the crank i will be using plastiguage to measure up and i will use toyota bearings
:teach:

 

[Dan-The-Glanza-Man]

so your using mart 2 standard size toyota bearings what bearings have you got in your scat rods now

 

[braindamage]

well ,when i had the 4efte i was using scat rods with mark2 bearings.Now that i have move to 5e i am using maxspeeding rods and i gonna use the plastiguage to dial in my bearings

 

[Chris@CCM]

if ur crank is stock they will take stock bearings check them with plastigauge if there not rite get ur crank reground
