What was the end float?
See Mark's post doing the mains up in sequence is important for these engines.

Re: MAin bearings Problems
Ohh no I would never torque the crank that way.
I go by tsrm in everything that i do except for the headgasket .lol
I used this torquing procedure to tighten the caps down
http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Librar...aspx?S=EM&P=91
This is what threw me off completely. I had the crank assembled the first time. But on my second attempt it wouldn't work. I removed the crank cleaned all the journals, re lubed bearings and reinstalled everything three times. Then when i loosened them the last time it fixed itself.????
I will pull it apart again and redo it just to be sure.

Re: MAin bearings Problems
LOL
sorry i was typing my response and missed that.
I haven't checked the end float yet. I don't have a dial gauge. Can I check it with a feeler gauge?? Also i have seen ppl reuse their old thrust washers to preserve their end float? correct me if i am WRONG.
Thnx for the input guys.
EDIT: I mean can I check clearances on either side of the thrust wahsers with a feeler gauge???

Re: MAin bearings Problems
If you're really careful with the feeler gauge and don't try to jam too thick a one in Yes.

Re: MAin bearings Problems
The feeler gauge gauges I have are too big. I have to get a smaller set.
