To get visible crank endfloat in 1500 miles the washers are in backwards I reckon. Easy to do if you don't watch it, with brain in gear...!
I'd pull it and look/fix. :wink:

Chris............... yeah i hope it's only washers and hasn't done terminal damage to the engine..... if it has i'll just leave the donk out and start saving again and do a conversion...........

As it stands though the labour costs for the mechanic are going to kick me in the nuts..... engine out , diagnose, replace f*&ked parts, engine in, refit bits and peices......

Many many hours and many many dollars :cry:

Meanwhile, back at the corral... :lol:
Endfloat of the crank when motor was built should have been around .003" or so.
Get someone to bung a dial gauge on the front pulley (balancer), pry it to & for, see wot it's got before you yank it out.. :wink:
