So Doc, did I damage anything taping the timing gear on the crank like I did? (ref: post on monday). I didn't know the heating up trick. Thanks Mike mike.j.moser@boeing.com |

Check the end play in the crank, more then .008 and I would take a look at that surface. Is the oil pan already on? The proper damper installation tool and some heat installs these quick and easy.(If you must "tap" on a damper, always stand the engine assy on end, with the crank flange resting on a solid surface, like a concret floor. Use a piece of hardwood or soft metal to tap on and never hit the outer ring) |

Hey Doc, can you pull just the #3 main bearing cap to inspect the bearing, or do you have to loosen all the caps to re-torque?? Thanks Mike Quote:

It is OK to just remove, check and retorque a single main cap assembly. Look carefully at the side thrust face, see any displaced (smashed) babbit? Also measure the thickness of each side with a micrometer. DD |
