No point measuring the bearings without the crank installed, everything changes shape when installed and torqued. That's why plastigauge exists... |

I've got this 1098 back together and in the car. I managed to get it to fire up first try, and then did the initial run-in. It goes well, probably a bit more power than before, but not heaps. I will get a better idea when I start to use the revs more after running it in. I'm only occasionally taking it to 5000rpm at the moment. There is a small drip of oil from the chain case, but hey, if that's the only problem I'll be very happy |
