Cheers, Roy

I have that I need to know the torque pattern which pope start with and which way to go.

Snug up each cap bolt and then start with the one on the driver's side.

Roy

I need the torque specs for the engine.

That works. Appreciate the help Bud the long haul, but I am finished. Appreciate the help.

You are welcome.

Glad to help.

Roy

Changed rod bearing and still has a bad knocking. Any ideas?

What was the bearing crush when you installed it? Did you use plastic gauge to measure the clearance?

Was the crank damaged? Does it have any grooves or scores?

Roy

Yes, I checked all that and the crane and everything look good. It sounds like it is in the upper part of the motor this time.

The upper end is a totally different noise than a rod.

To confirm it is a rod bearing, short down the cylinders one at a time. If the noise gets less intensive or goes away it is a rod bearing.

Roy

Okay, I appreciate it bud.

No problem. Glad to help.
